This year's event will be presenting 13 selected films that mainly focus on the theme of "Family" and the different aspects of the lives of European families. The movies that will be shown include children's animated films, drama, romance, comedy, and documentaries that have been selected for international film festivals and have won awards all over the world.
"In this European Year of Cultural Heritage, we are proud to share with Vietnamese friends our precious heritage: cinematography. This year's main theme is "family", which is core to our lives and societies. We shed a light on European people, culture and lifestyle as a cultural bridge to bring us closer to the people of Vietnam, and make our partnership stronger", said Head of the EU Delegation to Vietnam, Ambassador Bruno Angelet.
Since its first public appearance in 2000, the European Film Festival has become a prominent and anticipated annual cultural event in Vietnam. Through lively art footages, the festival has become a bridge connecting Vietnam to not only the European cinema heritage, but also to the vibrant and enticing European culture and lifestyle that cannot be blended with one another.
