HÀ NỘI — Nearly 100 Vietnamese movies and documentaries will be screened to celebrate Liberation and National Reunification Day (April 30), Labour Day (May 1), Điện Biên Phủ Victory Day (May 7), and late president Hồ Chí Minh’s birthday (May 19), as part of celebrations for National Tourism Year – Lào Cai, Tây Bắc, from April 25 to May 23.

The opening of the screenings will be held in Lào Cai on April 25 by the Cinema Department with screening of movie Biên Cương (Border) and documentary Trên Đỉnh A Mú Sung (In A Mú Sung Peak).

Border reflects the silent struggle of border guards to ensure security in border areas, while In A Mú Sung Peak tells the story of people in a northern village of Lào Cai province. Border guards and teachers who volunteer to work in this remote and difficult area are also featured.

The Cinema Department, the event’s organiser, also scheduled a talk between directors, actors and the writer of the two films with A Mú Sung border guards and audiences on the opening night.

Other films to be shown include Tôi Thấy Hoa Vàng Trên Cỏ Xanh (I See Yellow Flowers In Green Grass), Quay Phim Chiến Trường (Filming In Battlefield), Nhà Tiên Tri (Fortune Teller), Trên Đỉnh Bình Yên (In Peace Peak), Ngã Ba Đồng Lộc (Đồng Lộc Crossroad), and Đừng Đốt (Don’t Fire). —VNS
