A writing contest with the theme ‘Nguoi
Hanoi” (Hanoians) was launched to celebrate the capital’s
1,000th anniversary.
The contest is being held by The Thao
& Van Hoa (Sport & Culture) newspaper with the
co-operation of Vietnam Television, the Vietnam Airlines
Corporation and the Motion Media and VietPictures companies.
Contestants can send their writings to
the organising board via website at
nguoihanoi.thethaovanhoa.v n from until June 30.
Through the entries, 100 Hanoians will be
selected and their stories developed into five-minute films
to be broadcast on VTV1 from March until the great
anniversary, which falls in October.
Characters of the contest will be
Hasnoians who have strong attachments to the city’s cultural
features.
They should be living and working in
Hanoi , or born Hanoians who are now living elsewhere, but
still contributing to the betterment of the city.
Each film will portray one person. They
can be well-known or an emerging personality.
The programme will be an opportunity to
discover even more great things about this thousand year old
capital, says director Truong Cong Tu.
“The programme will be a great challenge
to the filmmakers.
In such a short time, we will need to
portray the true character of these people,” he says.
“Another difficulty will be how to re-new
well-known characters and bring unfamiliar characters closer
to the audience.”
Tu says he hopes that after the
programme, both contestants and audiences will gain new
insights into this lovely old city. (VNA) |
