Organized by the Vietnamese Embassy in Greece in coordination with Vietnamese and Greek partners, the event marks the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries, the 50th anniversary of Vietnam’s liberation of the south and national reunification, and the 135th birth anniversary of President Ho Chi Minh.

Addressing the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Ambassador Pham Thi Thu Huong said this is the first time a Vietnamese film week has been held in Greece. The program offers 9 feature and documentary films which reflect the history, culture, land, and people of Vietnam, and some of them have won national and international awards.

A special screening is scheduled for May 19, the birthday of President Ho Chi Minh, of the documentary "Ho Chi Minh: The Journey to Create Culture and Peace".

The event will run until next Tuesday in Athens and Thessaloniki and will continue in other Greek cities later this year.
