HA NOI (VNS)  — Orphans from Ha Noi's Birla Children's Village beat 30 other children's teams to win a short film competition for children, My Dreams.

The short film made by children from the Birla Children's Village, entitled Lo Thuoc (A Bottle of Medicine), won the first prize, while the second and third prize went to Nu Cuoi Cua Ba – Mot Uoc Mo (Grandma's Smile – A Dream) by a group from Thang Long junior high school in Ha Noi, and Khat Vong (Aspiration) made by Ha Noi's Phan Chu Trinh junior high school students, respectively.

The three films will be sent as the Vietnamese entries to the 2014 Asia International Children Film Festival, to be held in Minamiawaji, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan, on November 29.

According to Vu Duy Anh, an official from the Ministry of Education and Training, the contest was an opportunity for Vietnamese students to express their views on life's lessons and issues relevant to them creatively. — VNS
