Vietnam has brought two films to the event, namely “Nụ cười Việt Nam” (Vietnamese smile) that introduces beautiful footage of the country’s people and landscape to the world, and “Em và Trịnh” (Trinh and his muse), which was inspired by the life of the late songwriter Trinh Cong Son and won many domestic and international awards.

The film festival is scheduled to last through to September 9. Audiences will have the chance to enjoy cinematic works featuring diverse themes from Asian countries, including Vietnam.

This is one of the important diplomatic and cultural events being held this year to introduce images of the beauty, cultural diversity, and customs of Asian countries to international friends.
