According to Tran Binh Minh, General Director of Vietnam Television – the event’s organizer, this year’s festival saw an increase in both the quantity and quality of the entries, which touched upon many tough topics using both modern and creative approaches.
The four day-event attracted 105 production units with over 500 entries in nine categories including programmes for children, documentaries, reports, science and education programmes, talk shows, television programmes in ethnic languages, music shows, television films, and stage programmes.
Three conferences were also held as part of the event, discussing the role of communication in environmental and climate change work, graphics in producing television programmes, and promoting ethnic culture on television.
The festival is held annually by the Vietnam Television to honour the best television programmes of the year while providing a venue for producers and broadcast professionals nationwide to meet and exchange knowledge and skills.
