Following the success of the previous events, the European Vietnamese Documentary Film Week will be hosted by the National Documentary and Scientific Film Studio of Vietnam from 8 to 18 June 2025 in Hanoi and by Fafilm Vietnam from 15 to 24 June 2025 in Da Nang.
Participating European countries this year include Austria, Germany, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. Each night during the festival, a European and a Vietnamese documentary exploring a common theme will be screened, encouraging dialogue about the differences in documentary filmmaking techniques between the two regions.
A diverse array of themes will be presented, with each film addressing various contemporary issues. Highlights of the festival include the Danish film ‘Mechanical Love,’ which examines the relationship between humans and robots, and the French documentary “Dans Tes Yeux,” which follows blind journalist Sophie and her guide dog Pongo as they explore 40 unique locations around the world.
In recent years, the popularity of documentaries has surged, establishing this genre alongside feature films, complete with its own styles, techniques, and filmmakers. The organizers of the European Vietnamese Documentary Film Week aim to enrich the documentary filmmaking scene, often referred to as ‘the cinema of reality.’
The festival will be hosted at the National Documentary and Scientific Film Studio, located at No. 465 Hoang Hoa Tham Street, Hanoi, and Fafilm Vietnam at No. 79 Quang Trung Street, Da Nang. A notable feature of this year’s event is the “Day of the Young Filmmakers,” dedicated to showcasing works by emerging Vietnamese filmmakers.
The event is open to the public free of charge.
