The lineup includes some of Vietnam’s most acclaimed works. Among them is “Cánh Đồng Hoang” (The Wild Field: Free Fire Zone, 1979), winner of the Golden Lotus Award, portraying the resilience of Southern farmers during the resistance war against American imperialism.

Also featured is “Bao giờ cho đến tháng Mười” (When the Tenth Month Comes, 1984), widely regarded as one of the greatest Vietnamese films and recognised by Screen magazine as among the finest Asian films of all time. Another highlight, “Tướng về hưu” (The Retired General, 1988), explores post-war transformations through the story of a retired military officer.

Audiences will also have the chance to enjoy “Thương nhớ đồng quê” (Nostalgia for Countryland, 1995), which captures the essence of northern rural life; “Chung cư” (The Building, 1999), a reflection of urban living; and “Tôi thấy hoa vàng trên cỏ xanh” (Yellow Flowers on the Green Grass, 2015), a heartfelt tale of friendship, brotherhood, and childhood memories.

Organised by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the event aims to present the achievements of Vietnamese cinema to French audiences, highlight the country’s landscapes and people, and further strengthen cultural exchange between Vietnam and France.
