Panasonic awards film-makers at Hanoi schools

A team from Phan Chau Trinh Secondary School have won the Kid Witness News program organized by Panasonic Vietnam for young film-makers in Hanoi.

The film named “Vong tron” (Circle) won the best film last week, earning the team members flight ticket prizes to Singapore for the regional contest, while other top prizes went to teams of Giang Vo Secondary School, M. V Lomonoxop school and Ly Thuong Kiet Secondary School among others.

Using the theme of recycling a waste milk container into a useful item, the winning entry called for people to be more aware about the protection of natural resources and the environment.

Shinichi Wakita, general director of Panasonic Vietnam, said, “The award aims to create an exciting extracurricular activity for pupils to develop their talents and creativity by producing video clips using Panasonic’s modern equipment.”

The winning team’s entry will represent Vietnam first at the regional then at the global contest organized by Panasonic. The winners of the global contest will be named in July in Japan. Six leading teams will be granted six-day trips to Japan.

The Kid Witness News program has been run in Vietnam since 2006. So far 12 teams from secondary schools in Hanoi have taken part in the program.
