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.

Hoa Binh province has carried out multiple programmes and initiatives to revive its cultural heritage which has gradually fallen into oblivion through the ebbs and flows of history.
The most prominent and defining feature in the prehistoric era of Hoa Binh is the Hoa Binh Culture. The Culture was first discovered in Hoa Binh. The significant prehistoric culture represents not only Vietnam but also Southeast Asia and southern China. Through excavations of cave sites in the limestone regions of Hoa Binh, French archaeologist M. Colani introduced the world to a "Stone Age in Hoa Binh province – Northern Vietnam" in 1927. On January 30, 1932, the First Congress of Far Eastern Prehistorians, held in Hanoi, officially recognised the Hoa Binh Culture.
Known as the "Land of Epic History”, Hoa Binh province, the gateway to Vietnam’s northwest, boasts a strategic location and a unique cultural tapestry woven by its ethnic minority communities.
The People's Committee of Luong Son District recently held a ceremony to receive the certificate recognizing Sau Communal House in Thanh Cao Commune as a provincial-level historical and cultural site.
Recognising the importance of cultural heritage preservation in protecting and promoting the value system of Vietnamese culture, and serving socio-economic development in the new period, Party committees and local administrations in Hoa Binh province have identified it as a key task in the cultural development strategy. The province has been making efforts in mobilising resources, creating consensus among people and engaging ethnic communities in preserving and promoting cultural identity.
Hoa Binh province has captured growing attention both domestically and internationally for its distinctive cultural heritage and rich history. Most notably, it has been renowned for its famous Hoa Binh culture, considered the cradle of ancient Vietnamese civilisation. Looking ahead to significant milestones in 2025 and the 140th anniversary of province establishment in 2026, Hoa Binh Newspaper presents a comprehensive overview of the province's development across economic, social, cultural, tourism, and security domains.
