Vietnamese cinema works with good quality and many cultural identities are also introduced to distributors.

Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan - President of the Association for the Promotion of Cinema Development shared: "Cinema and tourism are two industries that, if linked together, both sides will benefit greatly, have resonance, and even be very strong and effective."

Ms. Hoang Kim Anh - Director of the Tourism Development Support Fund said: "With activities like this, we want to invite international friends to come to Vietnam to make films and through their works to introduce Vietnam."

The key activity of this participation in the Cannes Film Festival is the workshop "Vietnam - a dynamic Asian market and a new destination for international film crews" organized by the Tourism Support and Development Fund and the Association for the Promotion of Cinema and Cultural Industry of Ninh Binh and Quang Ninh provinces.
