The contest “I love Vietnam” is jointly organized by the Vietnam Film Development Association and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPA), aiming to introduce and promote Vietnam as a tourist destination and the ideal filming location(s) to the world at large.
The leadership of the VFDA and the MPA launched the contest during the Opening Ceremony of the Danang Asian Film Festival on May 9th, 2023.
What does the I LOVE VIET NAM Organizing Committee expect from the filmmaker’s clip?
Discover hidden treasures
Show us a secret location in Vietnam that filmmakers will immediately recognize as an unpolished gem. Take us off the beaten path and reveal a location waiting to be immortalized on the silver screen.
Accept the extraordinary
Do you know of a unique and unexplored place that will captivate us? We want to be fascinated by the extraordinary, the unconventional and the unbelievable, which you discover.
Go beyond tourist attractions
Forget the tourist scenes that have been displayed thousands of times. We want you to go beyond the obvious and show us what’s truly special about Vietnam – something that will surprise and delight us without expecting it.
Magnificent visual beauty
Your work should be a wonderful visual journey – a place that stands out without words, capturing the soul of the stunning landscapes, vibrant colors and jaw-dropping vistas of Vietnam.
Explore new filming locations
We are on a journey to find unexplored lands for filmmakers. Take us to places we’ve never seen before, and show us clearly why Vietnam has endless potential for unique and unforgettable film settings.
“So, prepare your camera/camcorder, get creative and take us to Vietnam’s next secret filming location! It’s time to exploit the cinematic potential of the beautiful country of Vietnam!”
The contest calls out to both Vietnamese citizens and foreigners, especially filmmakers, to introduce a never-before-seen Vietnam, revealing untold stories and capture the true beauty of unexplored landscapes in Vietnam through short video clips.
