At the same time, through the artistic documentary films in the European - Vietnamese Documentary Film Festivals, we will have the opportunity to exchange, interact, learn and understand each other. From there, we will build an increasingly close and friendly relationship, developing in all aspects between Vietnam and European countries and vice versa.

According to the Organizing Committee, the European - Vietnamese Documentary Film Festival is a cultural event introducing documentary films produced by the Central Documentary and Scientific Film Studio and European countries. The films carry their own messages, are made in different ways, but all help the audience discover more about cultures, countries and colorful life.

This year's film festival offers many multi-dimensional perspectives on the lives, cultures, and societies of countries in a multi-dimensional, emotional world. This is also an activity to promote cultural exchange between countries and Vietnam, an opportunity for audiences to learn about the countries, people, and cultures of other countries through documentary films.

Through the films presented at the 15th Festival, audiences will discover stories about ordinary people who are facing sometimes quite serious problems, thereby demonstrating resilience in the face of challenges. At the same time, audiences will witness slices of life that can evoke many emotions, thoughts and become a source of inspiration and hope.
