The 21st Viet Nam National Film Festival - 2019 is organized in the context of Viet Nam’s integration into the international arena in many fields, as well as the influence of the Industrial Revolution 4.0. Furthermore, Viet Nam cinema is oriented as a very important and spearhead sector in the Strategy to develop Vietnamese cultural industries to 2020 with a vision to 2030 approved by the Prime Minister. 104 selected films of different categories, from movies, documentaries, cartoons partly reflect the concerns, levels of emotions, desire of development of the Vietnamese towards the beauty of the soul, the righteousness in life while protecting fine traditions of our people. Thus the theme of the Festival is defined as follows: "Building a Vietnamese Film industry of nationality, humanity, creativeness and intergration”. In the Film Festival, the audience will engage more actively in the event by directly voting for the favourite feature films in the Panorama program to select the "People’s choice  awards”.
