Vietnam promotes its potential cinema scene and market to international film crews

Director of the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism Nguyen Trung Khanh emphasized that the theme of the conference more comprehensively reflects Vietnam's dual potential: Not only is it a destination with unique and novel filming locations, but it is also a vibrant and developing film market with many opportunities for cooperation in production and distribution.

According to Director Nguyen Trung Khanh, Vietnam offers an extremely diverse "background library", meeting all creative needs with the majestic, pristine nature of adventure, action, and fantasy films. Vietnam is not only beautiful in landscape but also rich in culture and people, a fertile land for unique stories with 54 ethnic groups living together, creating a diverse cultural picture of customs, festivals, cuisine , costumes, architecture...

Besides, Vietnam has a young, dynamic, enthusiastic and well-trained filmmaking team in many positions such as assistant director, cameraman, lighting, art designer, production manager, on-site interpreter...

In addition, compared to many countries in the region and the world , production costs in Vietnam are still very competitive, from labor costs, services, accommodation, travel... This allows producers to optimize their budget, devoting more resources to the creative quality of the film.

In particular, support from the Government and local authorities is also a plus point for Vietnam. Director Nguyen Trung Khanh emphasized that the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and local authorities are actively reforming administrative procedures every day to facilitate quick and convenient licensing for filming activities.

At the same time, the Ministry and local authorities are ready to support the work of surveying the scene, connecting with domestic service partners, and coordinating to ensure security and safety for the film crew throughout the production process in Vietnam.

“We are researching and will soon issue specific incentive policies to further attract international film projects,” said Director Nguyen Trung Khanh.

At the workshop, speakers shared and learned about the scale and resilience of the Vietnamese film market; analyzed the untapped opportunities and potentials in the field of film production; successful co-production models; legal framework and policies to support film development; the journey and strategy to promote Vietnamese films to the international market...

According to Director Nguyen Trung Khanh, Vietnam tourism is on the path of recovery and strong development, aiming for higher goals in quality, sustainability and international competitiveness. In that vision, cinema is identified not only as the seventh art, but also as the most effective communication channel to promote the image of the country, people and culture of Vietnam, thereby attracting high-quality tourists and enhancing the brand of Vietnam tourism.

Therefore, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism is and will focus on implementing a strategy to connect tourism and cinema in the future with key directions: creating a favorable legal corridor and policy environment; enhancing the capacity of the ecosystem to support film production and tourism product development; enhancing public-private and international cooperation; and promoting and promoting the integration of tourism and cinema.

In the coming time, the Vietnam National Administration of Tourism will soon research, develop and provide a complete, updated and easily accessible set of information and data on potential contexts, film production support service capacity, preferential policies and procedures in Vietnam so that international filmmakers have enough information when making decisions.

With a well-planned strategy, the determination of the Government, the cooperation of ministries, sectors, localities, businesses and the cooperation of international filmmakers, the connection between tourism and cinema will create a great synergy, bringing benefits to all parties, contributing to making Vietnam a bright spot on the global tourism and cinema map.
