ANNOUCEMENT ON SELECTED SCRIPTS

The short film script selection board of the ’10 months, 10 films’ project have decided to officially select 02 more scripts in 2008:
     -  The missing button (Chiếc khuy thiếu) – Nguyễn Hoàng Điệp
     -  A chilliest day in Hanoi (Hà Nội ngày lạnh nhất) – Cù Kim Chi

Recently, the 2 film projects Bi, don’t be scared (director Phan Dang Di) and Mute Affairs (director Bui Thac Chuyen) have been attracting a lot of attention from the public. This attraction is not only attributed to the humanity those 2 film projects have touched upon, the modernity of the scripts, or the creativeness of the directors, but also because of their capital mobilization.  

Currently, these 2 film projects have received support and cooperation from Film Studios, Filmmaking Funds, and other International Film Festivals. The capital mobilization of these 2 film projects in particular as well as that of other Vietnamese film projects in general will be discussed in the 4^th Cinema Roundtable at TPD Center.

In order to encourage and seek for talented and potential young filmmakers, the Short filmmaking Fund of the Center for Development and Assistance of Movie Talents (TPD Center) will provide financial support (VND 60,000,000 at most) for the making of 5 short films.

The making of those short films will give young filmmakers the opportunities to freely reveal their creativeness. If your short films are of good quality, they will possibly be sent to national and international film festivals.
