Five films from Belgium’s Mons International Love Film Festival (FIFA Mons) will be screened free of charge in Hanoi.

The FIFA Mons is one of reputable international film festivals with the aim of introducing films of love.

The third introduction of FIFA Mons will take place on September 21-24 at National Studio for Documentary and Scientific Films (465 Hoang Hoa Tham str., Ba Dinh dist., Hanoi).

This screenings are being organised by the Wallonie-Bruxelles delegation in Việt Nam, and the National Documentary and Scientific Film Studio, following the success of the two seasons of FIFA Mons held in Việt Nam in 2016 and 2017.

Five productions, including one documentary and one animated film, will be screened during the festival. They have all won numerous prizes at top international film festivals.

Anne Lange, a representative for Wallonie - Bruxelles in Vietnam, said the festival was a much-awaited cultural event for Vietnamese audiences thanks to the high quality of the films.

“This year we will present more films in more genres than last year,” she said.

The audience will have a chance to enjoy two tragedies, a comedy, an animation and a documentary. All of the films have been winners at international film festivals, she said.

FIFA Mons was launched in 1984 in the Wallonie region, Belgium. The festival first took place in 1985 and is organised every two years. The festival presents films with the subject of “Love” in the broadest meaning of the word. FIFA Mons has since become a reputable film festival in Belgium, Europe and the world.
