According to Meritorious Artist Bui Nhu Lai - Rector of Hanoi University of Theater and Cinema, young people today possess many outstanding creative elements. He believes that the young generation has the ability to quickly observe social movements, thereby forming many new ideas about culture, human resources or the development of the country.
In parallel with the development of short films, many playgrounds and film competitions for young people are also continuously organized, creating a practical practice environment for students and film lovers.
Experts believe that short film competitions play the role of "creative laboratories", where young people can test ideas, experience reality and learn how to work in a competitive environment.
Meritorious Artist-Dr. Bui Nhu Lai said that film training cannot just stop at classrooms but needs practical experience spaces for students to develop creative thinking. When placed in a larger environment, young people will have the opportunity to expand their creative range and tell stories that bear the cultural and spiritual imprint of their generation.
