Notable were two Golden Lotus awards, one for the documentary "Awakening and Resolving" and one for the feature film "Red Rain", demonstrating the depth of humanity, diligence and dedication of filmmakers in the military environment.
Along with that, many other important award categories at the 24th Vietnam Film Festival were also awarded to People's Army Cinema, including: Best Sound Award; Best Artistic Design Award; Best Special Effects Award; Best Supporting Actor Award... Besides, the scientific film "Application of Simulation Technology in the Army" was awarded a Certificate of Merit by the Jury.
The impressive achievement is a worthy reward for persistent artistic work, contributing to affirming the position of People's Army Cinema in contemporary Vietnamese cinema, where artists in military uniform always maintain a spirit of discipline, responsibility and a heart towards the Fatherland. This is also a great source of encouragement for the unit to continue to create, bringing to the public works that are authentic, emotional and imbued with the qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers.
Golden Lotus for Best Feature Film "Red Rain" (Production Director: Kieu Thanh Thuy; Director: Meritorious Artist Dang Thai Huyen; Screenwriter: Writer Chu Lai; Editor: Nguyen Thu Dung; Cinematographer: People's Artist Ly Thai Dung; Film Editor: Than Thi Thu Hang; Sound: Hoang Thi Thu Thuy; Music: Cao Dinh Thang; Art Designer: Vu Viet Hung) is considered a tragic epic, realistically recreating the fierceness of war while depicting the story of love, courage, sacrifice and desire for peace of the Vietnamese people.
Golden Lotus documentary "Awakening and Resolving" (director: Bui Thanh Hai; screenwriter: Tran Dang Mau; editor: People's Artist Le Thi; cameraman: Le Duy Hoi, Ha Hai Long; film editor: Vu Thu Huong; sound: Le Ngoc Chien; music : Tran Tung) is a work that touches on human depth when telling the story of the 1972 event, where more than 1,000 soldiers of the Saigon puppet army returned to their families thanks to the decision to lay down their arms by Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Dinh (Regiment 56) and the ceasefire action of Regiment 38 (Bong Lau Artillery).
The film depicts the reunion after more than 50 years of soldiers who were on two fronts, proving that division is only temporary, while national sentiment and love for the race are eternal and undying. The film also won the Outstanding Sound Award for sound engineer Le Ngoc Chien, affirming the meticulous technical quality of People's Army Cinema.
In addition to the highest award for these two works, People's Army Cinema was also honored to receive the Jury Award for the Science Film "Application of simulation technology in the army" (director: Ha Xuan Truong; screenwriter: Le Danh Truong; editor: Pham Hong Thang; cameraman: Nguyen Bao Khanh, Nguyen Xuan Hoan; film editor: Pham Quynh Anh; sound: Dao Hang; music: Tran Tung).
The film offers a vivid perspective on the journey of mastering technology of military scientists and engineers. The film introduces outstanding achievements and depicts the creativity and dedication of the silent people who contribute to building a modern army. From the electronic shooting range simulation system that won the 2014 VIFOTEX award to the T-54B/T-55 tank combat crew simulation complex and the Su-30MK2 flight command crew, all are testaments to the perseverance and constant creativity of the military engineering team.
These successes continue to affirm the role of Military Cinema in the task of producing works on the theme of armed forces and revolutionary war, contributing to bringing the image of soldiers closer to the public. After two years of tireless artistic work and overcoming many difficulties, the officers, artists and soldiers of the People's Army Cinema have received recognition from the audience and colleagues. This is a valuable source of motivation for them to continue to contribute and conquer artistic heights in the future.
Sharing the joy after the success at the Film Festival, the unit representative said that the People's Army Cinema received the awards with deep gratitude. Today's achievements are thanks to the leadership and close, comprehensive direction of the Ministry of National Defense; the attention and orientation of the Central Military Commission; and the direct, close direction of the General Department of Politics of the Vietnam People's Army.
That is the foundation that helps the unit to firmly maintain its creative direction, connecting art with the task of protecting the Fatherland in peacetime. In addition, there is the attention and facilitation of functional agencies and the responsible coordination of units in the entire army and localities, and the people... so that each work has true value and depth.
Each film honored at the 24th Vietnam Film Festival demonstrates the responsibility of soldiers and artists in preserving memories, spreading humanistic values and reflecting military life honestly. The representative of the People's Army Cinema shared that they will continue to innovate thinking, apply modern technology and maintain the spirit of discipline and responsibility of soldiers to bring more valuable works in the future.
