The online competition website for Vietnamese independent short-film makers, www.yxineff.com, announced BHD Co. Ltd as its official partner.
BHD Star Cinema will sponsor five individual awards for the yxineff film festival. In November, YxineFF will screen films at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday.
Yxine Film Fest started taking short film submissions in May with judging to be decided by the end of the year. The online film festival and forum aims to create a community for independent movie makers to meet and share experience with each other to develop Vietnam cinema. YxineFF‘s creators expect to extend the film festival to Vietnamese around the world and open more categories for the international movies.
BHD has been a supporter of Vietnamese cinema since it opened in August. The cinema has a special area for Vietnamese film memorabilia and has cooperated with YxineFF to host discussions with cinematographers and introduce movies by young filmmakers.
YxineFF’s partners Saigon Movies Media, Galaxy Studio and BHD Star Cinema sponsor the Golden Heart award, the Red Heart award and five other individual awards for best director, best screenplay writer, best cinematographer, best editor and best actor.
YxineFF was created by Marcus Manh Cuong Vu. Vu is a teaching assistant and researcher at Hamburg University in Germany. In December, he won first runner-up of the British Council International Young Screen Entrepreneur award.
