Vietnamese documentary wins at Asian film festival in Da Nang

The documentary covered the tradition of ‘bride-kidnapping’ among the Mong ethnic minority in the northwest mountainous region of Vietnam. Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha and People’s artist Nhu Quynh handed over the award to the director at the award ceremony at Da Nang’s Trung Vuong Theatre on May 13. The judging panel selected it as the best among 12 films of the Asian competition award, and eight films of the Vietnamese film competition at the week-long festival. “It’s the longest documentary that I have done so far. I worked on the film in 2017-2021 with many difficulties seeking funding and assistance for the competition,” Diem said. “I thank the funding organisations, friends and the film crew for supporting me during production.

Hai Yen scored the first goal for Vietnam, followed by Bich Thuy who extended the lead to 2-0. Vietnam, aiming for a second-place finish in Group D behind reigning champions Japan, encountered formidable challenges from Nepal’s resilient defensive tactics in the initial half. The head coach, Mai Duc Chung, led a team consisting of ten players under the age of 23 to Hangzhou, China. However, their performance failed to pose much of a challenge to goalkeeper Anjila Subba. After a close-range goal by Hai Yen in the 53rd minute, the scenario slightly changed and the deadlock was broken. Vietnam applied relentless pressure on Nepal’s goal, causing their opponents to abandon their defensive strategy and adopt a more offensive approach in an effort to equalize the score.

The outcome of the Group B match held at Prince Stadium in Phnom Penh, Cambodia was decided as soon as Malaysia were left with only nine players on the field following two red cards. The referee awarded Vietnam a penalty when a Malaysia defender handled the ball with their arm inside the box.  Although Nguyen Van Tung’s initial penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Sikh Izhan, he was able to score on his second attempt, resulting in the opener for Vietnam. Following their concession, Malaysia were compelled to push forward in search of an equalizer, but they ended up seeing Van Tung complete his double and fourth goal at the 2023 SEA Games by heading in a cross from Vo Minh Trong on the left flank in the 32nd minute. Muhammad Aliff took advantage of Vietnamese goalkeeper Quan Van Chuan’s inability to catch the ball cleanly during a free kick and scored a goal in the 42nd minute to reduce Malaysia’s deficit.
