Born and raised in Saigon, Việt Nam, Thuỵ currently resides and works in Tkaronto as an interdisciplinary artist, film director, documentarian, and production designer. From a young age, she explored various forms of visual, musical, and performance art as an outlet for self-expression. At the age of 15, Thuỵ and her family immigrated to Canada, where she learned to embrace her Queerness and identity as a Trans woman for the first time. At the age of 17, Thuỵ began her BFA degree in Film Studies at Toronto Metropolitan University. Through formal experiments with the cinematic form, Thuỵ has consistently made it her mission to push the boundaries of filmmaking. From combining documentation with performance art, music, and mixed media arts, to working exclusively with mediums like Mini DV tapes and 16mm celluloid film, Thuỵ has developed an idiosyncratic yet wholeheartedly Vietnamese style of creating Image Arts. Her works tell intimate stories about the beauty and complexity of life for diasporic Queer Vietnamese peoples. Thuỵ's latest work, "Thiếu, Nữ" or "Girl" (2025) is a short experimental documentary, conceptualized as a final letter to her pre-transition body and family, before quietly began Hormone Replacement Therapy. The film most recently screened at the TIFF Lightbox as an official selection of the 35th Inside Out Toronto 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival's programme: "Shorts: Local Heroes".
