A workshop entitled “Spotlight on German Cinema” was held in Hanoi on November 8 as part of the 7th Hanoi International Film Festival 2024 (HANIFF VII), providing an opportunity for filmmakers, experts, actors and actresses from Vietnam and Germany to share experience in developing the cinema industry.

The event saw the participation of German director, screenwriter Sophia Linnenbaum and director, actor Axel Ranisch.

Speaking at the event, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Ta Quang Dong said that the workshop was a meaningful activity to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Germany (1975 - 2025).

Dong said that contemporary German cinema has established its position internationally with the combination of creative storytelling, reflection on historical and social issues, and excellent film making techniques.

He said German filmmakers are now considered important contributors to the global cinema, both in terms of art and content, so Vietnam wishes to learn about Germany’s experience in developing the cinema industry.

As speakers at the event, Ranisch and Linnenbaum shared information about the German cinema, particularly its support to young filmmakers, and filmmaking training programmes and courses which aim at exchanging experience and improving film quality.

It is important for stakeholders to take part in film festivals. According to director and actor Ranisch, Germany has around 100 international film festivals yearly. Film festivals are held alongside other events, he said, stressing the importance of effective communication campaigns.

Vietnamese film producer and actress Mai Thu Huyen said that she hoped to promote Vietnamese films in Germany as with more than 170,000 Vietnamese people living in Germany, the market for Vietnamese films in the European country is very large./
