PÖFF’s programme philosophy strives for cultural and genre diversity and dynamism, showcasing established filmmakers and masters alongside newcomers with films coming from around 70 different countries. The festival is part of the A-category, a selection of the 15 top global festivals, including Cannes, Berlinale, Venice, Karlovy Vary, San Sebastian, Shanghai, and Tokyo.
As part of the occasion, the Vietnamese movie will also make its international premiere and will compete in 11 other international film festivals scheduled to run from November 2022 to May 2023.
