Hanoi (VNA) - “Mua do” (Red Rain) and "Tu chien tren khong” (Death Battle in the Air) - two outstanding recent Vietnamese films - will be screened free of charge for audiences as part of the 2025 Autumn Fair, scheduled to take place from October 25 to November 4 at the Vietnam Exposition Centre in Hanoi’s Dong Anh.

Accordingly, Red Rain will be shown three times daily, at 9:00, 13:45, and 18:30, while Death Battle in the Air will have two daily screenings, at 11:30 and 16:15, from October 26 to November 4, according to the Vietnam Cinema Department under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism.

Red Rain, directed by Dang Thai Huyen, is inspired by the 81-day battle to defend the Quang Tri Citadel in 1972. It grossed over 100 billion VND (3.8 million USD) in just three days of release and hit 200 billion VND after one week. To date, it has earned nearly 700 billion VND, a record-breaking achievement for Vietnamese cinema.

Meanwhile, Death Battle in the Air vividly portrays the fierce battles of wits and strength in the skies, honouring the bravery and indomitable spirit of Vietnam’s air security forces.
