Addressing the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Thi Thu Huong said this is the first time a Vietnamese film week has been held in Greece. The program offers nine feature and documentary films which reflect the history, culture, land, and people of Vietnam, and many of them have won national and international awards.

The opening night featured the film "Don’t Burn," subtitled in Greek and English, which received warm responses from the audience.

Meanwhile, a special screening is scheduled for May 19, the birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, with the documentary "Ho Chi Minh: The Journey to Create Culture and Peace."

The event will run until May 20 in Athens and Thessaloniki and will continue in some other Greek cities later this year.
