Themed "Cinema: Integration and Sustainable Development", this year's festival honors outstanding cinematographic works with high artistic and humanitarian value and creativity, while also encouraging new talent.
The featured entries are selected from many countries and territories around the world, some of which have never competed in international film festivals in Asia.
Meanwhile, non-competition film screenings will also be held, introducing new feature films, documentaries, and animated films from Vietnam, along with several Iranian films that have won awards at the Cannes and Berlin Film Festival as well as the Academy Awards. The festival aims to promote the spirit of humanity and cooperation between filmmakers, delegates, and guests for the development of cinema.
