HA NOI (VNS)— The online film festival YxineFF 2013 has begun.

From April to July, Vietnamese and foreign filmmakers can submit works in various genres focused on the theme "Choice" to compete for the YxineFF jury awards, a people's choice award and awards by independent juries.

The awards ceremony will be held in December.

YxineFF was initiated by Marcus Manh Cuong Vu in 2010 for Vietnamese independent filmmakers. Since last year, it has been open to international filmmakers.
