22nd Vietnam Film Festival to be basically held online

Previously, the festival was postponed until November instead of September as planned, due to the ravages of COVID-19, Thanh said.

Main events in the framework of the event will include screenings of contested films, and screening programmes in theatres and on online platforms for audiences.

The festival will introduce feature films, documentaries, science films, and cartoons.

The closing and award ceremony will be broadcast live on Vietnam Television (VTV) and Thua Thien  - Hue Audio and Television Station. 

Online promotion and communication activities, and interactions with filmmakers and authors whose films have won the Golden Lotus award are also expected to be organized.

The biennial festival honours outstanding works and artists with contributions to the country's cinematography. 

It also offers chances for insiders to further roll out a project to devise and promote the Vietnam Film Festival in the 2021-30 period.
