The four Vietnamese feature films selected for screening on this occasion are classic works imbued with revolutionary character, contributing to recording historical milestones through the language of cinema.
The first is The Wounded Soldier Teacher , a documentary film directed by Nhat Hien produced in 1971. The film won the Silver Lotus Award at the second Vietnam Film Festival for its realistic portrayal of a teacher and soldier who overcame his disability to continue contributing to the country's education .
Next is The Orange Bell (directed by Nguyen Ngoc Trung), which tells the tragic story of a former soldier of the old regime who participated in the spraying of toxic chemicals during the Vietnam War. The film not only resonated in Vietnam but was also honored at the Caclovari International Film Festival with the Lidixe Rose Award, and won the Silver Lotus Award at the 7th Vietnam Film Festival.
Crescent Moon (directed by Tran Phuong, produced in 1996) explores the post-war theme through the reintegration journey of a wounded soldier returning from the battlefield. The film conveys a profound message about the will to live, loyalty and noble qualities of Uncle Ho's soldiers in peacetime.
Closing is Don't Burn (2009, directed by Dang Nhat Minh), recreating the journey to find and return the sacred diary of martyr, doctor Dang Thuy Tram.
