A key highlight of this year’s edition is the introduction of a film market for the first time. This new initiative aims to connect film ideas with investors and create opportunities for collaboration in film production.
It marks an important step in expanding the festival’s role from film exhibition to industry networking and commercial exchange, strengthening links between production, distribution and the market.
The Hanoi International Film Festival 2026 is expected to continue its mission of becoming a prestigious film gathering in the region and the world.
