The film festival has selected "Boléro" by French director Anne Fontaine on classical music as the opening work, marking its first-ever screening in Asia. Apart from the main competition categories, symposiums and exhibitions will be organised within its framework.
It will serve not only as a platform to promote films but also to showcase tourism, culture, and the people of the southern metropolis. It also provides an opportunity for young filmmakers to connect with producers, investors, and bring their potential projects to life.
Deputy Director of the municipal Department of Culture and Sports Nguyen Thi Thanh Thuy stated that the festival will be an opportunity to introduce high-quality Vietnamese cinematic works, affirming their position and reputation on the world cinema map./.
