When music and cinema tell stories about the Fatherland

On the evening of October 17, in Ho Chi Minh City, Nhan Dan Newspaper coordinated with CGV Vietnam to organize a special screening of the concert film "Fatherland in the Heart: The Concert Film."

This event is part of a series of film premieres nationwide, aiming to spread national pride and promote Vietnamese cultural values through the language of cinema.

The film was introduced in Hanoi and officially premiered nationwide from October 17 with limited screenings. “To Quoc Trong Tim: The Concert Film” is a film version developed from the National Concert “To Quoc Trong Tim” - a large-scale political art night that took place at My Dinh Stadium, gathering more than 50,000 audiences of many generations.

Through modern cinematic language, the film recreates the sacred and heroic atmosphere of the night performance, combining advanced recording technology, multi-dimensional sound and 4K images, bringing a vivid experience like a "concert in the cinema."

All ticket sales profits will be transferred to the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front to support people in areas affected by storms and floods, demonstrating the spirit of "art for the community" that Nhan Dan Newspaper pursues.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Le Quoc Minh, member of the Party Central Committee, Editor-in-Chief of Nhan Dan Newspaper, Deputy Head of the Central Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Commission, Chairman of the Vietnam Journalists Association, said that the launch of "Fatherland in the Heart: The Concert Film" is the next step in the cultural communication strategy of Nhan Dan Newspaper.

Artistically, “Fatherland in My Heart: The Concert Film” presents a diverse musical picture, spanning from revolutionary music, lyrical music to contemporary pop music.

The elements of light, color, and camera movement are intentionally processed to honor cultural identity and national solidarity, while at the same time evoking the pride and aspiration of the Vietnamese people in the integration period.

In particular, the lyrics are displayed directly on the screen, encouraging the audience to join in the heroic or quiet passages, creating a multi-layered artistic space - both majestic and intimate.

The large red-hued scenes of the My Dinh stadium are interwoven with close-up shots, capturing the emotions of the artists and the audience, creating an experience that is both intense and emotional.

Many young viewers said they were impressed by the way the film connected traditional values with a modern feel. Le Thi Tuyet Nhi, a student at Ho Chi Minh City University of Culture, shared: “I watched the concert online, but when I went to the cinema, the sound and images evoked a lot of emotions in me. That heroic atmosphere made me feel more clearly the meaning of the two words 'Fatherland.'”

The production representative said that the special screening in Ho Chi Minh City is not only an activity to show gratitude to the audience but also opens the journey to bring the film to the public nationwide.

“Homeland in the Heart: The Concert Film” is a testament to the effort to combine cultural values, social responsibility, and modern technology; contributing to building a sustainable media-cultural-artistic ecosystem.

On this occasion, Nhan Dan Newspaper presented the Ho Chi Minh City Veterans Association with 1,000 tickets for “Fatherland in the Heart: The Concert Film”./.
