The screenings are being organized by the Wallonie–Bruxelles delegation to Vietnam on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of its establishment.
The films include Le tout nouveau testament (“The Brand-New Testament”), La passion d’Augustine(“Augustine’s Passion”), La fille du patron (“The Boss’s Daughter”) and Se Dio vuole (“God Willing”).
Each film will be screened in its original language with Vietnamese subtitles.
FIFA Mons president André Ceuterick attended the event and shared some remarks with the audience, especially on his festival’s area of expertise: love. “Love has no border and no limit, that’s the reason why we can bring FIFA Mons to many places and receive a warm welcome from local audiences,” he said. “We are curious to hear Vietnamese audiences’ remarks on these four films,” he added.
Ceuterick said he admired Vietnamese cinema and had worked with director Đặng Nhật Minh and Trần Anh Hùng. He expected that one day he would have the chance to discover more about Vietnamese cinema and that Vietnamese films will be presented at FIFA Mons next year.
Launched in 1984 in Belgium’s Wallonie Region, the festival first took place in 1985 and is organised every two years. Some films at the festival focused on a title of love. Now, FIFA Mons has become a prestigious film festival for Belgium, the EU and the world.
