The programme is held jointly by the DSF and the Vietnam Cinematography Association (VCA) to celebrate the VCA’s Canh Dieu (Kite) 2010 awards, which will be held in Ho Chi Minh City on March 13.

Seven films produced in 2010 on different topics will be screened during the event, including a documentary on Vietnamese brides overseas and a story about researcher Nguyen Thi Trang Nha who developed a plant that produces both tomatoes and potatoes.

Other films deal with the bio-diversity of Ca Mau mangrove forest, the alarming decline in the safety of food, the ancient capital city of Hoa Lu and preserving the traditional art of “Tuong” (classical) opera.

Admission is free and the films will be shown at 465 Hoang Hoa Tham Street, Hanoi.
