Cine 7 - The Weekend Film Rendezvous
The name Cine 7 is derived from Cine (short for cinema) and 7, symbolizing cinema as the seventh art and the program’s Saturday night broadcast on VTV3. The show takes audiences on a nostalgic journey through time, revisiting historical milestones of the nation through the lens of classic Vietnamese films.
A Space to Meet Legendary Guests
Beyond screening iconic films closely tied to Vietnam’s revolutionary history, Cine 7 – Memories of Vietnamese Cinema also will feature meaningful conversations with renowned filmmakers and legendary actors, whose contributions have left an indelible mark on the country’s cinematic landscape.
