Holding a film festival raising awareness about wildlife trafficking
Thu Minh 13:14, 2015/11/07
With the aim of spreading awareness about wildlife trafficking, particularly the sale of rhino horns, a film and music festival will be organised on November 8 at the Thang Long Citadel Complex in Hanoi.
Apart from films by invited directors Nguyen Quang Dung, Nguyen Hoang Diep and Bao Nguyen, the festival will screen films selected from the WildFest short film competition.
 

There will also be live performances by well-known artists.
WildFest is part of Operation Game Chance (OGC), an alliance between the US and Vietnam, which aims to end wildlife trafficking by raising awareness among Vietnamese consumers.
Launched earlier this year, the film competition's organiser received submissions from filmmakers in Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia.
