He comes from a Vietnamese family of artists and intellectuals from Hue, Central Vietnam, and My Tho in the Mekong Delta region. He is the son of Pham Công-Thiên, a renowned Vietnamese writer, poet and philosopher, and of Lê Khac Thanh-Hoai, a Vietnamese pianist and music composer.

He holds a degree in Cinema from Quebec, Canada. He has won several prestigious awards in France and Europe for his innovative, artistic work and creativity in various fields of activity.

To date, Lô Pham has written and directed several short and medium-length films, including a documentary on the Vietnam War, “Praying With One Heart” (2008), a Moroccan Trilogy (Kasbah, Marbut and The Peace Warrior) and two historical dramas, “The Morning And The Night” (2018) based on the life of Giordano Bruno, a 16th Century Italian mystic and philosopher, and “The Dance Of Orion” (2019) adapted from the Egyptian myth of Isis and Osiris and shot in Ouarzazate, Morocco, in the prestigious Atlas Studios (Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Kingdom of Heaven…).

Lô Pham is currently working on his first feature film, a historical film set in 18th Century Vietnam during the Tây-Son Rebellion that overthrew the Lê Royal Dynasty.

His personal ambition as a writer/film-maker is to bring life through films to ancient myths, historical events and spiritual tales that contain inspiring truths for our modern times.

Mission Statement

Before defining art — or any concept — we must answer a far broader question: what is the meaning of Man’s life on Earth? Maybe we are here to enhance ourselves spiritually. If our life tends to this spiritual enrichment, then art is a means to get there. Art should help man in this process.

Andrei Tarkovsky

Dear Friends,

As Tarkovsky, I truly believe in the power of cinema to elevate our human consciousness and open our minds and hearts to spirituality. That’s the reason why I am so passionate about making films and am devoting my life to it. To me, films are much more than mere entertainment, they are powerful catalysers for the spiritual evolution of Mankind.

In a contemporary world dominated by materialistic values, I deeply feel that cinema has a tremendous role to play in counterbalancing negativity and selfish concerns with positive, enlightening images that can reconnect people with their own divine, pure essence.

Telling stories, legends and myths that nourish the soul, awaken the mind and bring out the best in people has been a common practice for ages in all cultures and traditions. Cinema as the mass media of our time is today’s most powerful means to tell that kind of spiritual, life-changing stories to the largest possible audience.

My humble mission as a scriptwriter and a film-maker is to pass on that ancient, universal wisdom to the new generation through artistic, philosophical films that can be both entertaining and profound.

If you share my ideals and wish to join me in this task, you are the most welcomed! Please don’t hesitate to contact me and see how you can contribute to my film projects!

All the best,

Lô Pham
