Extended deadline for submissions for the short film contest 'Vietnamese 2025'

Launched on May 23, the Vietnamese Short Film Contest - Vietnamese 2025 has received many high-quality entries with diverse topics.

The works have diverse content, from closely reflecting the Gen Z generation with many issues related to social networks ( T44NC0DE ), stressful office life ( Random Access Memories ) or reminiscing about a theater troupe decades ago ( Behind the Velvet Curtain ); to delving into the human psyche, showing complex psychology and many wounds that have not yet healed ( Floating Soul, UFO, Sparrow Memory )... Not only live-action films, animation films also have their first entry with A story of Tam and Cam with personality, not following a framework. This year the competition also expanded the documentary category.

Recently, the Organizing Committee has received many thoughts and wishes from creators who want more time to complete their works in the most meticulous and perfect way. Therefore, the Organizing Committee has decided to extend the deadline for receiving entries until July 15, 2025 (previously July 7, 2025). In addition to this adjustment, other information in the previously announced rules remains the same.

Right from the preliminary round, short films of good quality were selected to be published on Thanh Nien Electronic Newspaper ( thanhnien.vn) . After that, 20 short films entered the final round and were published on Thanh Nien Newspaper's digital platforms, including the YouTube channel with more than 6 million subscribers.

The award ceremony is scheduled to take place in August at Beta Cinemas Ung Van Khiem (HCMC).
