Opening of the fourth Hanoi International Film Festival (Photo: hanoimoi.com.vn) First held in 2010, the festival aims to honour outstanding films of high artistic value and encourage new talents in Vietnamese cinema. It also provides a platform for Vietnamese and foreign movie artists to share their professional expertise.
The festival presents a chance for Vietnam to showcase its films as well as promote the nation and its culture to international friends.
The main events of the festival will include a film contest for those selected from around the world, and non-competition film programmes such as a panorama of world cinema, the screening of an international award-winning series from the Republic of Korea (RoK) to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations, and a contemporary Vietnamese film programme.
Within the framework of the festival, there will also be seminars on RoK Cinema Highlights, film production, distribution and popularisation during the COVID-19 pandemic, and an exhibition on filming scenes in Hanoi.
The sixth Hanoi International Film Festival was delayed in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19./.
