80 years ago, implementing the Party Central Committee's policy and the Directive of President Ho Chi Minh, on December 22, 1944, the Vietnam Propaganda Liberation Army - the first main force, the predecessor of the Vietnam People's Army - was established. For the first time in the history of our country, there was a new type of army organized, led, educated and trained by the Communist Party of Vietnam and President Ho Chi Minh; a revolutionary army born from the people, fighting for the people, bearing the nature of the working class, the people's character, and deep national character; fighting for the ideal goal of independence and socialism.

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Vietnam People's Army, the opening ceremony of the Film Week held in the province is truly meaningful, a large-scale political activity, with the meaning of propagating the historical, cultural and revolutionary traditions of our nation, further highlighting the indomitable feats of the heroic Vietnam People's Army. From there, further fostering love for the homeland, the country, the will to fight and win for the entire Party, the entire people, the entire army, contributing to promoting the strength of great national unity, the will to self-reliance and self-strengthening of each citizen.

Film Week is an occasion to pay tribute, honor and remember the contributions of generations of fathers and brothers who have devoted and sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the nation. Through that, it arouses deep gratitude to the heroes and martyrs who sacrificed for the independence and freedom of the Fatherland.

Leaders of the Department of Cinema, Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism presented flowers to artists of film crews showing during the film week.
