Since that historical milestone, Vietnamese Revolutionary Cinema and Photography have gone through a long journey accompanying the country and the people. Over the past half century, generations of Vietnamese artists and cinematographers have wholeheartedly served the Party's ideals and the interests of the nation.

Many artists, film and photography soldiers heroically sacrificed their lives on the battlefield, leaving behind a shining image of artists - revolutionary soldiers and priceless works in the struggle to protect the Fatherland.

Long An is proud to be the cradle of the Vietnamese revolutionary Cinematography industry when the first Photography - Cinematography Group was established in 1947 in the middle of Dong Thap Muoi region. One year later, the first reportage - documentary film of the Vietnamese revolution was born.

In 1990, the Provincial Cinema and Television Association was established with the first member artists such as Cinematographer Tan Si, Tien Thanh, Thanh Nguyen,... Up to now, the Association has grown to 37 members. Of which, 12 members have retired but are still active and contribute actively to the Association's activities.
