Meanwhile, the event contributes to reaffirming the sound leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, especially President Ho Chi Minh - the factor determining the glorious victories, liberating the South and reunifying the country.

The film week will screen eight films, including documentary films “Hoa giai” (Reconciliation), “Ngay cuoi cua chien tranh” (The last day of war), “Song va ke lai” (Live and tell) and “Con lai voi thoi gian” (Remaining with time), and movies “Khuc mua” (The rain), “Sinh menh” (The little life), “Cha cong con” (Father and Son), and “Toi thay hoa vang tren co xanh” (I see yellow flowers on green grass).

These films feature Vietnamese culture, landscape, and people and the journey of national reunification. Through the films, the organizing panel hopes to strongly arouse patriotism, self-reliance and solidarity, and uphold Vietnamese cultural values to create a great strength to build and protect the Fatherland.

The film week will run from April 24 to 27 at the People’s Army Cinema at No.17 Ly Nam De street, Hoan Kiem district, Hanoi.
