Entries will compete in the Asian films category, which will be judged by an Asian panel, as well as the Vietnamese films category, which will be judged by Vietnamese experts.
The audience’s choice award will be given to the favorite Vietnamese film, as voted by viewers participating in the screenings of the “Today’s Vietnamese Cinema” program.
For the first time, the organizers will announce the film achievement award for the best filmmaker.
All entries must have English subtitles. The deadline for film registration is March 15, 2024, for Asian films, and April 30, 2024, for Vietnamese films.
