According to producer Ngo Dai Trang, the production cost 8,000 USD, of which 6,000 USD came from the Denmark – Vietnam Cultural Development and Exchange Fund. 
It took a year to prepare and 12 days to shoot in Hanoi and Cao Bang, said Trang. 
“Thanh pho khac” gave the 29-year-old director the opportunity to take part in the Berlinale Talents Campus in February last year. 
Last year, another Vietnamese film – the “Cha va con va…” (Big Father, Small Father and Other Stories) directed by Phan Dang Di – was also nominated for best film at the 2015 Berlin International Film Festival. 
Founded in 1951, the film festival is one of the most prestigious events in the world.
