Known more as the birthplace of phở than a haven for film, artistic societies in Vietnam aim to shake things up with their first ever Family Film Festival in Ho Chi Minh City. Between December 21-23, the ever-growing artistic youth of Southeast Asia will have a chance to expose their films and projects to audience sizes the region has never seen before.

Vietnamese cinema is not necessarily a new art form, having been born in the early 1920s, but late-stage globalization has meant new opportunities for filmmakers to expose themselves to audiences and potential distributors the world over. As a chance for young artists to take a stab at a near universal art form, the Family Film Festival could signal a big chance for the ever-growing popularity of films from the region. This particualr festival will feature both live action and animated films with the only caveat being that all talent must be region-specific.
