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.

As a land deeply intertwined with human history and Vietnam’s millennia-long journey of nation-building and defence, Hoa Binh is often revered for its epic tales and legends.
Residents of Hoa Binh boast a rich cultural identity, reflected in their unique language, traditional attire, customs, and folk melodies – described as "sweet as honey, clear as a mountain stream.”
Lac Son district’s Vu ban town held the 2025 Truong Kha temple festival on April 12–13 (the 15th–16th days of the third lunar month). Since its revival in 2019, the festival has been organised every three years, preserving valuable intangible heritage while meeting the community’s cultural and spiritual needs.
The clothing of women reflects the culture of the Muong, Thai, Tay, Dao, and Mong ethnic groups in the northern province of Hoa Binh.
Gongs hold a special place in the cultural and spiritual life of the Muong ethnic people in Hoa Binh province. More than musical instruments, they are an indispensable part of community rituals and collective memory, echoing through generations as a spiritual thread linking the past, present, and future.
Preserving and promoting the cultural values of the Muong ethnic group has become an urgent task in the current context, as many traditional values face the risk of fading away. This effort requires not only protecting the cultural identity but also eliminating outdated customs and developing a modern cultural lifestyle, contributing to sustainable values for the Muong community in Hoa Binh province.
The Muong ethnic culture, deeply rooted in Vietnam’s mountainous north, continues to be preserved and revitalised by dedicated individuals and communities determined to safeguard their ancestral identity.
