Launching the Documentary Film Production Project on Sustainable Development

The three NGOs participating in this project are GreenViet, the Center for Rural Economic Development (CRED) and the GreenHub, who are looking for film crews. They are looking to tell their stories and express themselves through documentary films.

Filmmakers are encouraged to provide their best knowledge and skills and use materials provided by social organizations to create works that contribute to promoting society to realize global sustainable goals, and are encouraged to aim to produce films that can attract international attention in documentary film festivals held in Vietnam.

In 2023-2024, the project's themes focus on biodiversity conservation, action against poverty and women's rights, and waste management.

The Goethe-Institut and the Center for the Development of Cinema Talents (TPD) will jointly support film production in the project, co-organizing two workshops with German documentary filmmakers to exchange experiences and build capacity in creative storytelling and filmmaking.

Mr. Hoang Quoc Huy, Deputy Director of GreenViet, shared: "The project will contribute to raising public awareness of the value and importance of conserving the Grey-shanked Douc in particular and biodiversity in general.

At the same time, the project also arouses love for nature, sense of responsibility, and willingness to join hands in biodiversity conservation in Vietnam."

Ms. Thai Huyen Nga, Communications Officer of CRED, emphasized: “Through the film, the domestic and international communities can better understand the projects that non-profit organizations are implementing, which are sustainable development projects “for fishing rods and fishing techniques, not for fish”.
