Before modern Vietnamese was written in the Latin alphabet, there was Nom, a sophisticated script that carried the nation’s poetry, philosophy, and identity for centuries.

Now it is nearly forgotten.

Art of Nom follows the avant-garde Zenei Group as they revive this ancient writing system through contemporary art. Under the leadership of the enigmatic Le Quoc Viet, the group transforms calligraphy into bold visual statements that challenge modern Vietnam to reconnect with its cultural roots.

Blending history, art, and political memory, the film captures a rare cultural movement unfolding in real time.

For lovers of art, history, and global culture, Art of Nom offers a visually rich and intellectually compelling journey into a world few outsiders have seen.
