Specifically, the 4 movies are Glorious Ashes (director Bui Thac Chuyen), The Lady's House (director Tran Thanh), The Chong Mot Con (director Vu Ngoc Dang), The Fragile Flower (director Mai Thu Huyen) and 2 short films: Glory of the Martial Artist - (director Tan DS), Silent Wind (director Le Chau).

This is the first time the Asian World Film Festival has a "Vietnam Film Day" to screen Vietnamese films.

In particular, the movie Fragile Flower was introduced to the audience with outstanding excerpts before its official release in early 2024 in the US, India and Vietnam.

Among 100 films from 50 Asian countries, Glorious Ashes and Windless are the two Vietnamese films officially competing at the festival in the feature and short film categories, respectively. This is considered a positive sign on the journey of promoting and connecting Vietnamese cinema closer to the Asian and world film industries.

In particular, director Mai Thu Huyen continues to be invited by the AWFF organizing committee to join the jury of the short film category.

As a member of the Executive Board of the Vietnam Cinema Association, Director Mai Thu Huyen shared her desire to connect Vietnamese films with world filmmakers.

Over the years, she has also made many efforts to contribute to promoting and creating bridges for Vietnamese films to have more opportunities to reach world cinema and audiences by bringing impressive films to regional and international film festivals and awards.

Director Mai Thu Huyen shared: "I hope that, not only at AWFF, Vietnamese cinema will also appear at many other international film events in the future and leave a good impression in the eyes of the audience as well as receive high praise from experts."

The Asian World Film Festival (AWFF) is an annual film festival based in Los Angeles, California. This year, the event takes place from November 8-17 (local time).
