Ngo Phuong Lan, director of the Cinema Department, said the festival will give French audiences their firstviewing of films made during the past two decades that reflect important historical events, the development of Vietnam-France relations and the growth of Vietnam’s film industry. Some of the films have won prizes at international film festivals.
In addition, several films that feature Vietnamese themes made by French directors or overseas Vietnamese in France will also be screened, Lan said. As well as feature films, documentaries and animated films are also on the programme.
