The festival will present the latest Spanish movies, including a selection of comedy, drama and thriller that shows the creative zest of a country that ranks 4th in Europe and 8th in the world in terms of cinematic productions.

“Thi Mai”, the first Spanish feature shot in Vietnam, will be released during the festival. Director Patricia Ferreira and producer Larry Levene will speak about their experience of working on location in Hanoi and Ha Long Bay and will meet the audience at the festival’s first screening on October 18.

Besides the five screenings, the festival will include the following activities: the opening reception at the embassy, a roundtable discussion between filmmakers from the two countries and other activities to strengthen ties with the Vietnamese industry and explore opportunities for future collaboration.
