Hanoi (VNA) - A Vietnamese film on childhood titled ‘Toi Thay Hoa Vang Tren Co Xanh’ (I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass) has won the Best Film title at the TFF Kids International Film Festival 2016.

Released last October, the film directed by Victor Vu was a cinematic phenomenon at the domestic box office, earning over 80 billion VND (3.6 million USD).

I See Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass also marks the successful cooperation between the Vietnam Cinema Department and private film studios.

The film was listed among the top 10 outstanding cultural events in Vietnam and won the important Bong Sen Vang or Golden Lotus prize at the 19th Vietnam Film Festival last December.

The film was Vietnam’s only representative at the TIFF Kids International Film Festival, which is part of the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival. Besides this, it also bagged the best film award at the second Silk Road International Film Festival and the Golden Kite at the Vietnam Film Festival 2015.
