VietNamNet Bridge – The Vietnam Cinema Association and the Center for assistance and development of movie talents (TPD) plan to launch a project under the sponsorship of the US Embassy in Hanoi.

The project, entitled “10 months, 10 documentary films”, is set to run from February to December 2014, and aims to nurture the development of Vietnam cinema by providing guidance and other assistance for movie talents.

It is considered a pioneer project in effectively assisting young filmmakers to make their own films that do not require massive expenditure or huge investment in technologies.

Those involved in the project will learn about the process of short film making from script-writing to production, and have a chance to exchange and learn experience from famous local and foreign filmmakers.

The project deals with issues on gender equality, homosexual, women’s rights, and environment protection.

The jury includes renowned directors Bui Thac Chuyen, Phan Huyen Thu and Pham Thi Hao of Vietnam, filmmaker Julie Béziau, and French audio specialist Arnaud Soulier, and they will select the best films for awards and public screening.
