Also at the ceremony, Assoc. Prof. Dr., musician Do Hong Quan - Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Literary and Art Associations - said: "In recent years, along with the country's development in economy, foreign affairs, and national defense and security, there is definitely a very developed field, which is culture.
Culture has become one of the fields that the Party and State are interested in, creating all conditions to bring culture to the level of politics and socio-economics. In this general picture, cinema is clearly a spearhead.
Generations of cinematographers from choreographers, screenwriters, directors to actors and constituent elements such as painters, cinematographers, musicians... have all absorbed the tradition of more than 70 years.
The achievements and films that have stood out in the recent year such as'Dao, Pho and Piano','Dia Dao','Mua Do'... it's not that we get it in a day or two, but this is a whole process of striving, absorbing tradition, moreover, above all is the passion for the profession, the responsibility of artists, those who work in art in a true way".
