Preserving and promoting the value of national epics through the language of cinema was discussed at the seminar "Da Trach Legend - From national epics to cinematic languages".

The seminar organized by PT-TH Hanoi aims to contribute to the orientation of building the capital's cultural industry, connecting heritage with the public and contemporary audiences as well as demonstrating a pioneering role in approaching heritage using modern artistic language, both preserving traditional values and creating a spreading force in society.

According to General Director, Editor-in-Chief of PT - TH Hanoi Station - Nguyen Kim Khiem, the seminar is considered one of the important academic activities, laying the foundation of knowledge and creative inspiration for the special film project " Huyen Tinh Da Trach", inspired by the legend of Chu Dong Tu - Tien Dung.

With the goal of creating a comprehensive awareness of the legendary love between Chu Dong Tu and Tien Dung, folk stories, cultural symbols and historical perspectives will be screened in many ways: from research, cultural studies to art, helping to clarify the depth of the characters and the context of the Hung Vuong era.

However, Mr. Nguyen Kim Khiem also believes that making a historical drama based on the legend of Chu Dong Tu - Tien Dung is not simple when the historical setting happened a thousand years ago, the lack of documentation is inevitable.

Therefore, we can only try to bring a specific image of a brilliant period of the Dong Son civilization, close to everyones imagination - Mr. Nguyen Kim Khiem affirmed.

In addition, many opinions from leading experts and scholars in the fields of archaeology, history, fine arts, folk culture, directors, filmmakers, media and art also opened a multi-dimensional dialogue between academic research and contemporary artistic thinking to clarify the issue in the process of recreating Da Trach space and the image of Chu Dong Tu - Tien Dung, from legendary materials and folk beliefs.

This is also an opportunity for filmmakers, artists and content creators to find inspiration, ideas and valuable documents for the production of the special film project " Huyen Tinh Da Trach" in the coming time.
