The event was attended by Dinh Ngoc Duc, Director of the Vietnam Cultural Center in France, along with a large number of overseas Vietnamese and international guests.
Held in the lingering festive atmosphere of the Lunar New Year, the event was designed as an early-year cultural gift for overseas Vietnamese, recreating a sense of traditional Tet celebrations. Audiences enjoyed a free film screening that evoked themes of family reunion, cultural identity, and shared heritage.
A highlight of the program was the celebration of three years of CCEE Paris Events, an organization that has actively promoted Vietnam–France cultural exchange through cinema and community activities. The introduction of “Beyond the Broken Bridge” marked a new step forward, with collaboration between Vietnamese-origin producers in France and Germany. The film is expected to explore themes of identity, memory, and healing among overseas Vietnamese, offering a shared voice for the community in Europe.
As part of the program, CCEE Paris Events and Cinexia Productions signed a strategic partnership to develop film projects with international reach.
