With impressive natural landscapes and a rich and diverse culture, Vietnam has abundant potential to promote tourism through the film industry.

The film aims not to reflect a specific period in the nation’s history, but rather to draw inspiration from the life story of Queen Nam Phuong to portray a real historical figure on screen.

National heroes and events from Vietnamese history are featured in a series of new animated films by the Vietnam Cartoon Company (VNCC).

“Vietnamese cinema not only has box office victories like Tran Thanh and Ly Hai’s films, but also classics with high artistic content,” Le Thanh Son, a director, has said.

A film is considered a success if it earns revenue of tens of billions of dong or higher. However, there are very few such Vietnamese films of that level.

The success of the film ‘Mai’ by Tran Thanh earlier this year was taken as a good omen for Vietnam’s film industry in 2024. However, contrary to predictions, people are not going to cinemas to watch Vietnamese films.

Following the success of recent movies with revenue of hundreds of billions of dong, Vietnamese filmmakers believe that movies earning trillions of dong are within reach.

Chau’s leading role in Cu Li Never Cries directed by Pham Ngoc Lan won on Saturday in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.

Many Vietnamese filmmakers said that previously, raising funds for Vietnamese films was difficult, but now, after the COVID-19 pandemic, finding funds for film production has become even harder in the overall challenging situation.

Vietnamese drama and romance movie “Mai” has become the highest grossing Vietnamese film of all time after generating a staggering 520 billion VND (20.9 million USD) at the local box office.

Korean-made Exhuma movie earned hundreds of billion Vietnamese dong at box offices after the movie was released.

Vietnamese American television and film editor, Tom Cross, who is a 2015 Oscars winner, will serve as one of the judges for the Ho Chi Minh City International Film Festival 2024, which is scheduled to take place from April 6 to April 13.

As of February 26, “Mai”, a movie by comedian Tran Thanh became the highest-grossing film in Vietnamese cinema history.

‘Dao, Pho va Piano’ (Peach Blossoms, Pho and Piano) has unexpectedly become a cinema phenomenon one week after its release.

Vietnamese romance and comedy movies have achieved big profits during the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday.

The year 2024 will witness the premiere of two new movies adapted from Ánh’s works, Ngày Xưa Có Một Chuyện Tình (Love Upon a Time), and Kính Vạn Hoa (Kaleidoscope).

Vietnam's film industry is preparing to release a series of highly anticipated movies to theaters in 2024.

Several highest-grossing films will be released to entertain Vietnamese movie buffs on the occasion of Tet (Lunar New Year), one of the two busiest seasons for the Vietnamese film industry.

A number of films hitting the screen in recent days have broken records in number of tickets sold and revenue. However, the film industry's growth remains a issue that needs discussion.
