Many young talents won prize at Golden Lotus Bud Awards 2017.
“Lan” (forgetful), directed by Nguyen Ngoc Mai, made a loud victory after pocketing three lotus bud awards for the best documentary voted by viewers and judges and the best maiden documentary of a director.
In the short film category, Tran Huu Thanh won the best maiden film of a director with “Dem Giat Ui” (laundering night), while the panel and audiences voted to honour two best short films – “Muon” (late) by Ho Thanh Thao and “Chuyen Anh Hung” (heroic story) by Hoai Nam.
“The Unknown Game” by Nguyen Vu Huyen Linh became the best teen-made category picked by audiences, while “Tam Ve Cuoi Cung” (the last ticket) by Thao Linh was chosen by the jury in the category.
With this year’s theme of Kaleidoscope, the awards respected the diversity in people’s personalities and points of view. Oscar-winning director Mark Jonathan Harris, director Arnaud Soulier, actress-producer Hong Anh, and director Phan Dang Di were among judges.
There were seven documentaries, seven short-film and five teen-made film nominees selected from 83 documentaries, 25 short films and 18 films produced by secondary school students. Each film is 12 to 20 minutes long, with budget limits set at 5 million VND (250 USD).
In 2016, Two young filmmakers Nguyen Xuan Hoang Minh and Pham Thu Thuy won the Golden Lotus Bud Awards for the best documentary film and the best feature film at Golden Lotus Bud Awards.
Minh’s film Khi Song Vo Bo (When the waves kiss the shore) tells the story of a man who returns his home after working for a long time abroad. The man feels lonely and cannot reintegrate into his family and society. He decides to leave.
This is the second documentary by Minh under a project launched by the Centre for Assistance and Development of Movie Talents (TPD). Minh attended the We Are Filmmakers Project at TPD in 2014. Her first documentary was nominated for the Golden Lotus Bud Awards.
Launched in 2009, the Golden Lotus Bud Awards is an annual prize launched by TPD to encourage young people to become involved in filmmaking.
