At the press
conference in Hanoi
on April 5
The information was announced by Nguyen Thi Hong Ngat, Vice
Chairwoman of the Vietnam Cinema Association at the event’s press conference on
April 5.
She said that Vietnamese remakes of
foreign films and scripts will not be considered for the Kite Awards – the most
prestigious cinematographic awards in the country. According to Vice Chairwoman
of the Vietnam Cinema Association Hong Ngat, the current number of remakes is
enormous, and the awards will not accept nominations for this category.
However, the awards will honour individuals involved in making those works, she
added.
In addition, the 2017 edition of the
annual awards will include two more prize categories, which are cameramen of
scientific documentaries, and animators.
The award ceremony of the 2017 Golden
Kite Awards will be held at the Hanoi Opera House on April 20 and will be
broadcast live on the Vietnam Television VTV2 channel.
The nominated films will be screened
free for the public at the August Cinema, the National Cinema Centre, and the
Studio for Documentary & Scientific Film in Hanoi from April 9 to 13, with invitations
given away at these locations starting on April 6.
On the occasion, the Kite Awards organising
board will also run a conference to review the creation of films and series
last year at the headquarters of the Vietnam Cinema Association (No 51 Tran
Hung Dao Street) on April 9.

The Bac Son pre-school in Hung Son commune, Kim Boi district is effectively implementing a model of preserving and promoting cultural identity of the Muong ethnic group.
Through ups and downs, many unique cultural features of the Muong ethnic minority group are facing risks of falling into oblivion. However, with a strong determination, Lac Son district of Hoa Binh province has deployed synchronous solutions to preserve and promote the locality's cultural heritage values.
If Tan Lac is considered the core of the cradle of Muong culture in Hoa Binh, Phong Phu commune is the cultural centre of Muong culture in Tan Lac district. Luy Ai hamlet in Phong Phu commune is where customs and traditions of Muong Bi are preserved. Luy Ai hamlet was chosen to build a space to preserve Muong ethnic culture. The district is seeking support from the province and coordinating with relevant agencies to devise a plan on preservation of Muong cultural spaces associated with developing tourism products and improving the lives of local residents.
