38th National Television Festival: Foreign adapted TV Dramas are leaving good impressions

Up to this point, the organizers have received nearly 500 entries. The Report category has received the largest participation with 148 reports. It is also a highly competing category as the reports deal with a wide range of topics of political, social and economic life.

This year’s festival is also the first which allows multi-episode documentaries to compete. In the category of television series, the jury started to vote since November. The longest TV series has 253 episodes.  

Nguyen Ha Nam - Head of Editorial Department of Vietnam Television, Standing Deputy Chairman of the Organizing Board of the 38th National Television Festival - said that the documentary is the central genre of the broadcasters. This year sees the broad participation in this category from provincial TV stations instead of only central and major stations as in previous years.
