VTV.vn - A film named Father and Son, directed by Luong Dinh Dung, will become the first Vietnamese film to be nominated for a Remi Award at the 50th Houston International Film Festival.

The festival is being held from April 21-30 in the US state of Texas. Father and Son is an independent movie adapted from the director's short story with the same title, written in 1995. Director Dung drew inspiration for the story from his own experiences to write the piece.

The Houston International Festival is one of the longest running international film festivals in the world. Participating films this year were selected from some 4,500 entries from 74 countries. The 90-minute film is expected to feature at 11 international festivals.
