The WildFest short film competition will be held in Hanoi next month with 17 films available for free viewing.
The films will include 11 entries for the competition, which have been selected from dozens sent from Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia for the past three months, organizers said.
The public screenings will be held on November 1, during which the winners of the WildFest Award will be announced.

Actress Hong Anh and other well-known directors, including Charlie Nguyen, Nguyen Quang Dung,
Nguyen Hoang Diep, Bao Nguyen, and several wildlife activists from international organizations will be members of the jury.
The winner of the Grand Awards will claim a prize of VND50 million in cash and a trip to South Africa.
