The Vietnam Film Institute organises the screening of 03 Vietnamese feature films including: The Night of the Longhorns, The Moon at the bottom of the Well and The season of the beardI'm not. These are artistically valuable film works, which bear a strong cultural, historical and ethnic identity imprint, currently housed and preserved at the Vietnam Film Institute.

One. The Night of the Longhorns (1989) - Directed by NSND Hai Ninh.

Adapted from the novel of the same name by author Nguyen Huy Tưởng, the film is set in 18th-century Vietnamese society during the Le Trịnh period, recounting the dynastic upheavals, the supremacy of Nguyen Phiong Thi Huế and the power struggle. Through the story of the fates and relationships in the family, the film reflects a turbulent historical period, while also expressing the spirit of struggle against tyranny, the defence of justice and human values.

Two. The Moon at the bottom of the Well (2008) - Directed by Nguyen Vinh Sơn.

Adapted from the short story of the same name by author Chen Tzuy Mai, the film is set in Huế, China, and revolves around the life of teacher Hạnh, a gentle, self-sacrificing woman who is passionate about family happiness. Faced with the ups and downs of married life and the harsh social prejudices, the character faces the wounds, the tears, of inner life. With a subtle, lyrical, and culturally intense narrative, the film explores deeply the nature of women, love, happiness, and the values of family life.

Three. The season of the beard (2004) - Directed by Nguyen Võ Nghiêm Minh.

Set in the early 20th century Camo Mau lands, the film recreates the radical life of South Korean farmers during the flood season, when cotton-workers had to bring cattle to search for high grassland to avoid flooding. Through the journey of the young man, Kam, the film depicts the human process of maturity between the harsh nature, the hardships of the conspiracy and the bond between man and nature, the species. With its evocative shapes, unique cinematic language, and deep Southern identity, the work brings true, emotional images of the life, culture, and people of the river region.

The program is organized in a non-profit format at the Vietnam Film Institute's Jewellery Theatre.

Through the introduction of iconic film works, the program contributes to honoring the good cultural, historical and traditional values of the people; awakening love for the homeland, the country, the spirit of community unity and pride in Vietnamese cultural identity.
