A Vietnam film week kicked off in Colombo city, Sri Lanka, on
February 15.
The event was organized by the Vietnamese Embassy in coordination with the
state-run National Film Corporation of Sri Lanka.
Ambassador Ton Sinh Thanh said that the film week is the first cultural activity
launched by the embassy since its establishment last April. During the event,
five Vietnamese movies which have won international awards will be screened,
with three of them focusing on the past wars, he said.
According to the Vietnamese diplomat, the film week will help Sri Lankan
audiences understand more about Vietnam and its people, both in the past and at
present.
He said Sri Lanka will send an art troupe to the Hue Festival in central Vietnam
in April. Vietnamese artists will open a photographic exhibition in Colombo city
in June, and a Vietnamese art troupe will perform in Sri Lanka later this year.
