Vietnamese movie "I see yellow flowers on the green grass” by director Victor Vu will be screened in Japan on August 19 with a view to bringing Vietnamese culture closer to Japanese people, heard a press conference in Tokyo on July 31.
Vietnamese Ambassador
to Japan Nguyen Quoc Cuong said Vietnam annually screens around 300 foreign
movies, including 10 Japanese ones. However, only few Vietnamese films hit
cinemas in Japan, he noted.
He hoped more Vietnamese films would come to Japanese people in the coming time.
Based on the novel by best-selling author Nguyen Nhat Anh, the film is set in
the mid-1980s in a small village, telling the story of two young brothers who
share everything, but compete for the affection of the same girl.
It was listed among the top 10 outstanding cultural events in Vietnam and won
the important Bong Sen Vang (Golden Lotus) prize at the 19th Vietnam Film
Festival in 2015.
The film was Vietnam’s only representative at the TIFF Kids International Film
Festival, which is part of the prestigious Toronto International Film Festival.
Besides this, it also bagged the best film award at the second Silk Road
International Film Festival and the Golden Kite at the Vietnam Film Festival
2015.
Hong Kong and Amsterdam-based Fortissimo Films, which handled international
sales for the film, introduced the film at the 68th annual Cannes Film
Festival.
The film was also screened at the American Film Market in Los Angeles in
November 2015.

With an increasingly vibrant and widespread emulation movement aimed at building cultured residential areas and cultured families, Yen Thuy District has been making steady progress toward improving both the material and spiritual well-being of its people, while fostering a civilized, prosperous, beautiful, and progressive community.
Once lacking recreational spaces and community facilities, Residential Group 2 in Quynh Lam Ward (Hoa Binh City) has recently received attention for the construction of a new, spacious, and fully equipped cultural house. The project followed the model of state support combined with public contributions in both labor and funding.
The "All people unite to build cultural life" movement, which has been effectively integrated with Kim Boi district’s socio-economic development goals, is fostering a lively spirit of emulation across local residential areas, hamlets, villages, public agencies, and enterprises. In addition, through the initiative, traditional cultural values are being preserved and promoted, while community solidarity and mutual support in poverty reduction and economic development are being strengthened.
A working delegation of the Hoa Binh provincial People’s Committee led by its Permanent Vice Chairman Nguyen Van Toan on June 11 inspected the progress of a project to build the Mo Muong Cultural Heritage Conservation Space linked to tourism services in Hop Phong commune, Cao Phong district.
Born and growing in the heroic land of Muong Dong, Dinh Thi Kieu Dung, a resident in Bo town of Kim Boi district, in her childhood was nurtured by the sweet lullabies of her grandmother and mother. These melodies deeply imprinted on her soul, becoming an inseparable part of her love for her ethnic group's culture. For over 20 years, this love for her hometown has driven Dung to research, collect, and pass down the cultural values of the Muong people to future generations.
In the final days of May, the Ethnic Art Troupe of Hoa Binh Province organized performances to serve the people in remote, mountainous, and particularly disadvantaged areas within the province. These were not just ordinary artistic shows, but they were the meaningful journeys aimed at spreading cultural values, enhancing the spiritual life of the people and contributing to the preservation of ethnic minority cultural identities.
