Vietnamese International Film Festival

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

First started in 2003, the Vietnamese International Film Festival (also known as ViFF) is a biennial film festival organized by the non-profits Vietnamese-American Arts & Letters Association (VAALA) and UCLAs VietNamese Language and Culture (VNLC). ViFF takes place at the University of California, Irvine, the University of California, Los Angeles, and other locations in and near the Little Saigon area of Orange County, California.

Part film festival and part community-service event, to date ViFF is the only film festival reserved for filmmakers of Vietnamese heritage in the world outside of Vietnam. As a result, many films by Vietnamese-heritage filmmakers, both new and previously released, have gathered here. Films by Academy Award nominated director Tran Anh Hung have been shown at ViFF. Notable premieres at ViFF include the world premiere of Victor Vu's First Morning (Buoi Sang Dau Nam), and the North American premiere of Pham Nhue Giang's Deserted Valley (Thung Lung Hoang Vang).
