The annual awards presented by the Vietnam Cinema Association to domestic films will be announced on March 9 in HCM City, announced the organizing board.
According to organizers, with 5-7 members, this year the Jury will be “rejuvenated”. However, to prevent corruption, the names of examiners will be kept secret until the final minutes.
Film makers can send their products to the selection board through February 28, 11 days before the awards ceremony.
Tran Kim Luan, Chief Organizer, said that many new films, which have not been screened in cinemas yet, will participate in the selection and film producers don’t want their products widely introduced before their debuts. For that reason, there will not be an audience prize this year.
The organizing board has set up a website about Vietnamese feature films that will include information about the Golden Kite Awards 2008.
The awards ceremony will be broadcast live at 8pm, March 9 on VTV3. The Golden Kite Awards was launched in 2003.
