However, due to many problems, a representative of the Vietnam Cinema Association told Lao Dong reporters on the morning of October 23 that this year's tournament may not have accompanying bonuses, only cups and certificates.
2025 is considered a turning point for the film industry when many works are praised for their quality and breakthrough revenue.
A typical example is the film "Red Rain" of the People's Army Cinema. The film was praised for its story, filming and filming ability, emotional film direction, and natural acting of the main cast.
When "Red Rain" was released in theaters, the film "made waves" at the box office from late August to late September, creating a miracle of revenue of more than 700 billion VND. The work received many compliments from critics and audiences.
According to critics, "Red Rain" deserves to win many high awards at the 2026 Craftsman Awards (for works released in 2025). "Red Rain" may win awards for acting, screenwriting and directing.
death in the air, geography: Sun in darkness... are also highly appreciated films with good revenue. The Death in the Air has an impressive cast, in which Thai Hoa, Kaity Nguyen and Thanh Son received many compliments. The Geography by director Bui Thac Chuyen is a work rich in cinematic materials, told in a separate language, and is also on the list of people predicted to have the Best Cname award at the 2026 Craftsman Awards.
In addition, 2025 also marks many Vietnamese - Korean cooperation films that are made quite well such as Mang Me Di Giay, Tay Anh Tan Mot Sao... Many films have achieved high revenue such as The Four Guardians, Nu Cuoi Binh Billion, Nha gia gia, Den Tu An...
It shows that the Vietnamese cinema market in 2025 is bustling, the quality gap between films is getting bigger, the competition and elimination are getting fiercer. As audiences become more and more demanding, refinement is being promoted, disaster films and crap films will no longer have the opportunity to " kiem money" when released in theaters.
Quality films with a spread effect will easily have the opportunity to earn high revenue, at the same time - these works also need to be recognized at the craftsman awards of the Cinema Association and the Department of Cinema.
However, in the face of the difficult situation of the Golden Kite Award organized by the Vietnam Cinema Association, many questions are being raised about the way, scale of the award organization and the excitement of film crews and producers registering to participate in the upcoming award competition.
