The on-going event aims to provide the local movie lovers a chance to contemplate well-known Danish movies.

Recently produced films, including 'A Royal Affair', 'The Hunt' and 'A Hijacking' are screened during the week. Many of them won awards or were nominated at international film festivals, including Oscar Academy Awards and Cannes Film Festival.

Danish Ambassador to Viet Nam Charlotte Laursen said the event helps to introduce Denmark’s filming industry with internationally-acclaimed producers, actors and actresses as well as its society to Vietnamese viewers.

She hoped that the film week would be one of her country's cultural programmes to help enhance the partnership and mutual understanding between the 2 countries. 

According to the foreign diplomat, the Danish Embassy has funded a cultural support programme to the tune of over 3 million USD in order to promote cultural exchanges between Viet Nam and Denmark.

Since 2006, hundreds of cultural projects and artists have benefited from the programme.
