According to Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan - Chairman of VFDA, Vietnamese cinema is going through an important transition period. In the past 5 years, for the first time, Vietnamese films have achieved revenue of tens of millions of USD, demonstrating the strong development of the domestic market. In parallel, the new Cinema Law has created more favorable conditions for international film crews to come to Vietnam, opening up more opportunities for cooperation with Hollywood producers and foreign markets.
Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan affirmed that national identity is the strength that helps Vietnamese cinema make its mark on the international stage. According to her, humanistic values and compassion are not only expressed in classic works such as Canh Dong Hoang or Bao Gio Cho Den Thang Muoi , but also continue to be exploited in contemporary films with new perspectives and expressions. The combination of tradition and technological innovation, such as the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in film production, not only helps improve quality but also increases competitiveness in the international market.
Looking to the future, Dr. Ngo Phuong Lan affirmed that VFDA is actively implementing the Film Crew Attraction Index (PAI) in provinces and cities, and on the other hand, making efforts to expand cooperation with film organizations, universities and film technology partners in the US to create more development opportunities for Vietnamese cinema.
According to director Tony Bui, cinema is not only an entertainment industry, but also a story about identity, culture and how the world perceives a country.

Bridge connecting the film industries of the two countries
The workshop highlighted the major challenges facing Vietnamese cinema, especially access to financial resources and advanced technology. Delegates proposed many solutions, including promoting cooperation with research centers and universities in the US to train high-quality human resources, and establishing production support funds specifically for projects with international cooperation elements.
Director Tony Bui shared: "Cinema is not only an entertainment industry, but also a story about identity, culture and how the world perceives a country. When making films in Vietnam since the 1990s, I encountered many challenges in terms of infrastructure and technology. But now, Vietnam has enough conditions to produce films that meet international standards. The challenge now is how to make Vietnamese cinema have a stronger global impact."
One of the important highlights of the conference was the official launch of the "Friends of Vietnam - US Cinema Development" with the participation of leading experts. This initiative is not only a bridge connecting the film industries of the two countries, but also creates a sustainable platform to promote production cooperation, apply advanced technology, especially artificial intelligence, and support young Vietnamese film talents to reach out to the world.
