The Creative Camp and Project Market are two sideline activities of HANIFF 2018, but play an extremely important role in supporting and finding young talents, while contributing significantly to making the image and brand of the Hanoi International Film Festival more professional and widely known.
Unlike previous film festival seasons, the Creative Camp and Film Project Market of HANIFF 2018 has the participation of students from China, the Philippines and Myanmar for the first time. The organizers also want to change the organization model of pure classes within the Creative Camp into small discussions, dialogues where students can listen to the sharing and advice of experts about the process of working in the film industry.
In the Film Creation Camp category, the Organizing Committee awarded prizes to outstanding students of the two classes of actors and directors & screenwriters. The award for outstanding students of the acting class went to two students, Vu Kim Anh and Cong Van Duong, whose acting abilities were highly appreciated by experts throughout their time at the Creation Camp. And the award for outstanding students of the director & screenwriter class went to young Filipino director Crisanto Calvento.
Student Vu Kim Anh shared: “When the Organizing Committee announced my name as one of the two students with outstanding achievements in the acting class at the HANIFF Creative Camp 2018, I felt very happy and excited. I understand that these will be lucky first steps for the development of my film career. I told myself that I will need to try harder and gain more experience. This is the first time the acting class has been organized within the framework of HANIFF, and I hope that in the next film festivals, the acting classes will continue to be maintained so that young actors like us will be given the opportunity to try our best and gain experience.”
In parallel with the activities of the Film Creation Camp, the Organizing Committee also announced the outstanding film projects of the Project Market. The Project Market is a place to introduce and select independent film projects that are in the process of script development or production by young filmmakers. This year, with the participation of 5 film projects from young directors from within the country and abroad such as Singapore, Korea, Iran and India, the judges had a very serious and effective working time. After four days of work, the Organizing Committee gave the opportunity to the 2 best projects including “Good morning, and good night!” by young Vietnamese director Chung Chi Cong, and “John Denver Trending” by young Filipino director Arden Rod Contez.
