At the screening, many viewers could not hold back their tears while enjoying When Will October Come ? The Organizing Committee said that the film screened at the opening ceremony was a digitized version taken from the Fukuoka City Community Film Library (Japan) so the quality is very high.

When will October come? tells the story of Duyen (Meritorious Artist Le Van) - a wife who went to visit her husband fighting in the Southwestern border but heard that he had died. She hid the news of her husband's death from her family and neighbors so that her old father-in-law would not be devastated by the death of his two sons on the battlefield.

The film won the Special Jury Prize at the 1985 Hawaii International Film Festival and is one of the 18 best Asian films of all time as voted by CNN.
