1st Vietnam-Korean Film Festival is a great success

The first part of the 1st Vietnam-Korean Film Festival organized by CJ CGV to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries was held at Megastar Crescent Mall in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam from the 24th to the 26th of October.

Ten Korean features, including the opening film Masquerade, were screened and the selection of Korean films reflected Korean sensibilities as well as the country’s culture. My Black Mini Dress, Always, In Another Country, Love On-Air and Punch drew audience members willing to sit on steps. Vietnamese press praised the opening film Masquerade for being a good mix of drama and comedy, and for its special Korean style.

KANG Ki-myung of CJ CGV said the event was an opportunity to reconfirm Vietnamese audience’s affection for Korean cinema and he expects the strong interest to continue through to the second part of the festival which will continue from 6th December at Megastar Vincom City Tower in Hanoi.
