HCM CITY (VNS) — The winners of the WD 48 Hour Film Project Viet Nam (WD 48HFP) will receive awards on Thursday at BHD Star 3/2 Cineplex.

The producers will award prizes for Best Actor/Actress, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Script, Best Direction and also Best Film, which will be sent to the 48HFP World Finals in 2015 in Los Angeles.

If successful there, the films will then be screened at Cannes Film Festival in France as well as over 125 cities worldwide taking part in the 48HFP next year.

Over the past three months, WD 48HFP held over 20 film-making workshops at schools and for the public on how to produce work within 48 hours.
