Spanish film festival in Hanoi
Tuesday, 10/10/2017 19:16 (GMT+7)
The Spanish film festival will take place at the National Cinema Centre at No.87 Lang Ha street, Hanoi, from October 17th to 22nd.
The event will be held by the Spanish Embassy in Vietnam to celebrate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Spain and Vietnam. It will offer cinema lovers a chance to savour the latest of Spanish film-making.
The cycle includes a selection of comedies, dramas and thrillers that show the creative zest of a country that ranks 4th in Europe and 8th in the world in terms of cinematic productions.
The highlight of the event will be the screening of the world premiere of Thị Mai, the first Spanish feature shot in Vietnam. It is a classic tale of West-meets-East with a hilarious Spanish-Vietnamese twist and a star-studded cast from Spain and Vietnam. Thị Mai’s director, Patricia Ferreira, and producer Larry Levene will speak about working on location in Hanoi and Ha Long bay at the festival’s first screening on October 18th.
In addition, there will be a round table discussion between film-makers from the two countries and other activities to strengthen ties with the Vietnamese industry and explore opportunities for future collaboration./.
