(VOV) – A Vietnam Film Week kicked off in the Argentinean capital of Buenos Aires on September 11 to mark the 40th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic ties.
Vietnamese Ambassador to Argentina Nguyen Van Dao introduced revolutionary Vietnamese cinema to attending audiences, highlighting the “seventh art’s” contributions to national liberation, unification, and construction.
Argentinean State Cultural Secretary Jorge Coscia commended the Vietnamese people’s heroic struggle against foreign aggression.
He said he believes the festival’s showcase of revolutionary cinema is bound to deepen Argentinean understandings of Vietnam’s desire for national independence and freedom.
The festival, hosted by the Gaumont Cinema, includes seven domestically and internationally acclaimed films: Canh Dong Hoang (Deserted Field), Con Chim Vanh Khuyen (Passerine Bird), Bao Gio Cho Den Thang Muoi (When October Will Come), and Em Be Hanoi (Little Girl of Hanoi).
Famous Dung Dot (Don’t Burn), Thuong Nho Dong Que (Nostalgia for the Countryside), and Chuyen cua Pao (Pao’s Story) will also be shown.
The festival has organised performances by Vietnamese artists; photography, traditional costume, and lacquer exhibitions; and lectures about Vietnam throughout the week.
Vietnam will host an Argentinean Culture Week in November this year.
