HANIFF 2014, co-organised by the Cinema Department of Vietnam under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, provides a golden chance for domestic and foreign filmmakers to exchange experience and introduce their outstanding works to movie lovers.

Under the themed “Cinema – integration and sustainable development”, the festival also aims to create a motivation for Vietnamese cinematography to expand their market and popularise the country’s image to the world.
