At the event, Vietnamese filmmakers introduced their movies and shared many interesting behind-the-scenes insights about the filmmaking process.
Regarding the investment and commercialization of Vietnamese animated films, the participants discussed the Vietnamese animation market potential. Specifically, animated films have the advantage of having longer-term revenue opportunities compared to live-action films, generated from selling products linked to popular movies, including toys, clothing, and collectibles.
The first Animation Film Festival under the theme “Vietnam’s Animation Flow” was held in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in November.
Around 20 events are scheduled to take place in the major cities, including screenings of animated films that have won numerous awards, films by young filmmakers from Vietnam Animation Studio, Sconnect Vietnam, Alpha Studio, and notable animated films from France provided by the French Embassy, and a ceremony honoring 65 years of the Vietnamese animation industry.
