The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has chosen two Vietnamese movies as contenders for the 2023 International Feature Film Award.
The list included 144 documentaries, 92 foreign language films, and 27 animated movies.
Nhung Dua Tre Trong Suong (Children of the Mist) and “578: Phat Dan Cua Ke Dien” (578: Magnum), two Vietnamese movies, are included on the list.
Luong Dinh Dung’s action film “578: Magnum” was submitted to the Academy Awards in September.
Children of the Mist, directed by Ha Le Diem, has screened at film festivals across the world, including the U. S. , Kosovo, Singapore, Australia, France, Mexico, and Cambodia.
