Vietnam Animation Studio said that two films “Dien Bien Promise” and “Dien Bien Packed Vehicle” are in the process of production and completion to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 1954 - May 7, 2024).

Both animated films were produced by screenwriter Pham Thanh Ha, editor Nguyen Thu Trang and director and artist Bui Manh Quang.

The film "Dien Bien Promise" is 10 minutes long and revolves around the meeting between an old man and a young boy on the Dien Bien Phu battlefield in the past.

Through the veteran's story, the boy learned more about the long resistance war against the French and the world-shaking Dien Bien Phu victory.

Moved by the promise of the Dien Bien soldiers, the boy and his friends fulfilled the promise of the young generation, continuing the tradition of patriotism and national pride.

The 10-minute film “The Dien Bien Packer” tells the story of a boy and his packer in the Dien Bien Phu Victory Museum.

Taking a cart to visit the old battlefield, the boy witnessed the whole Dien Bien Phu campaign with the extraordinary things, the miracles that our army and people created in the Dien Bien Phu victory that shook the world.

Sharing about her inspiration for writing, screenwriter Pham Thanh Ha, author of two film scripts, said that she had long cherished and been assigned the task of finding a script about Dien Bien.

Knowing that writing an animated script about modern history is very difficult, she once placed orders with writers for feature films, documentaries, theater... but did not receive any scripts.

Then, after watching three episodes of the documentary “A1, Mud, Blood and Flowers,” screenwriter Pham Thanh Ha was so moved that she could not hold back her tears and was determined to make it.

Screenwriter Pham Thanh Ha shared that when writing the script for “Dien Bien Promise,” she felt like she was fulfilling a promise. She wished to be like the characters in the story, the soldiers who always kept their promises to their comrades, and the young generation today who keep their promises to preserve and continue the traditions of their fathers and brothers so that good things will never be forgotten.

Because it is an animated film produced for children, the film crew hopes that the film will provide children with knowledge about the heroic period of the nation's history of fighting the French to foster and instill patriotism and national pride in the younger generation, screenwriter Pham Thanh Ha expressed.

According to screenwriter Pham Thanh Ha, the film "The Dien Bien Phu Cart" is completing post-production and will be premiered on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory (May 7, 2024).

The film “Dien Bien Promise” is in production and is expected to be released to the public in November 2024./.
