The event is one of a series of annual cultural festivals organised by European Union National Institutes for Culture (EUNIC) to promote better understanding between the people of Vietnam and Europe.
Featuring extensive unseen archival footage and previously unheard tracks from the singer, Amy is a strikingly modern, moving and vital film which shines a light on our culture and the world we live in today, in a way that very few can.

A pure jazz artist in the most authentic sense, Amy poured her heart and soul into her music, expressing personal struggles and pain through her intimate lyrics. The combination of her raw honesty and virtuosity resulted in some of the most unique and popular songs of our time.
