Policies, measures sought to boost Vietnam’s film industry

The workshop, co-organised by the Vietnam Association of Film Promotion and Development (VAFPD), the Danish Embassy in Vietnam, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) Representative Office in Vietnam, was one of the activities to celebrate the 70th establishment anniversary of the Vietnam National Enterprise of Cinematography and Photography (March 15, 1953 – 2023) which is the precursor of the cinema and photography industries in Vietnam today.

Speaking at the workshop, VAFPD Chairwoman Ngo Phuong Lan noted that the film industry is key to the development of the cultural industry.

The Law on Cinema, taking effect on January 1, 2023, creates a favourable legal corridor for the development of the country’s film industry as the law determines that cinema is not only an art but an industry and an economic sector.

However, Lan said that specific appropriate mechanisms and policies are needed to realise the law, fully make use of the creative capacity of Vietnamese people and filmmakers, attract domestic and foreign investment in cinema, and encourage public-private partnership in film production and distribution.

According to People’s Artist Dang Nhat Minh, the State’s annual ordering and film production sponsoring facilitate the generation of many good films for the Vietnamese cinema. However, in the current context, the selection of films for state support must be conducted more carefully. Management agencies must organise competitions to choose good scripts, and good filmmakers, thus helping to create successful films.

Deputy Director of the Cinema Department Ly Phuong Dung said the private-public partnership in film production is studied by management agencies to create favourable conditions and promote the creation of quality cinematic works, thereby boosting the film industry’s development.

At the workshop, film experts from Denmark, Indonesia, and Thailand shared experience in developing their film industries, attracting international investment, human resources training, and developing national cinema brands.

Lung Van is considered “The Roof of Muong Bi,” one of the four major and the most ancient cultural cradles of the Muong ethnics in Hoa Binh Province, including Muong Bi, Muong Vang, Muong Thang and Muong Dong.    From May to July, Lung Van has hundreds of streams and waterfalls pouring from the peak of mountains, forming imposing  scenery in Lung Van.

Searching for flowers in Central Highlands city

The Central Highlands city of Da Lat is one such place that keeps drawing people back in to find new surprises to explore. Bui Le Thanh, a 20-something woman residing in HCM City, loves going to Da Lat. Though she visits Da Lat twice a year, upon her return home she immediately plans her next trip to the city. “People say spring is the best season in Da Lat, but I think Da Lat is beautiful and romantic in every season,” she said. “Da Lat always has attractions to lure people for their first time or many times later.” Its cool weather, lines of green pines swinging in fading sunlight and flowers of various colours bring the city a romantic air. “I decided to take this trip to Da Lat quite suddenly and accidentally,” she told Việt Nam News. “I just saw a photo of cherry blossoms on my friend’s Facebook. I felt as if I had a date with the flower and had to go. I hurried to book a flight and packed my luggage.” “It’s like a date, and I had to go,” she said. Mai Anh Đào, or cherry bl...
