We begin with a milestone for Vietnamese Cinemas as early 2026 will see a rare new subject on the big screen with the release of Let me tell you that, the country's first feature film dedicated to the art of circus performance.

The film tells the story of Tai, a single father and a tight trip performer played by Kiu Ming Dun and his teenage son.

The two struggle with growing conflict at home.

High risk circus acts are woven into a story about fatherhood, emotional distance and understanding in modern families.

The film's release coincides with the 70th anniversary of the Vietnam Circus Federation, marking a tribute to generations of performers who devote their lives to this demanding and dangerous art form.

To the quiet halls of history, Vietnamese art is currently undergoing a massive effort of preservation.

On the morning of January 12, the Vietnam Fine Arts association presented nearly 1,000 works of various art forms to the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum.

This marks the museum's largest delivery to date, expanding public access while ensuring the works are preserved and promoted under professional conditions.

This is a display space featuring about 30 artworks out of nearly 1,000 works by many generations of artists recently transferred to the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum.

The collection includes oil paintings, local paintings, statues and sculptures.

They vary in materials and forms, reflecting daily life and the development of Vietnamese art over different periods.

The painting Returning Day by artist Bu Anh Nguyen is Among the nearly 1,000 artworks presented to the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum.

Created in oil with warm tones, it depicts the heroic atmosphere of Hanoi on Liberation Day, 10th October 1954.

The painting portrays the soldiers of 1954, those who returned from Dien Bien Phu to take over the capital.

The intersecting lines symbolize roads and the Long Bin Bridge.

The soldiers come back in a heroic atmosphere with fiery colors that represent the spirit of the revolution.

In this intake, the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum received a total of 979 artworks grouped into three main categories.

These include posters from the 1950s, recent paintings and sculptures, as well as foreign graphic works.

These works are closely linked to different stages in the development of contemporary Vietnamese art.

Looking at them feels like revisiting memories of the past.

their works remain, which is why I believe this handover was a wise decision by the association.

This can be seen as a historic handover as the works carry significant historical and cultural value.

They also have considerable market value.

By receiving them, we aim to enrich the museum's collection and create better conditions to present them to the public at home and abroad.

In the coming period, the museum plans to develop a second site and aims to complete it within the next two years, creating additional exhibition space for the collection.

And while the National Museum focuses on safeguarding the past, Vietnam's music industry is looking toward the immediate future and the warmth of the upcoming Lunar new year.

Now, 68 Vietnamese artists have reunited in a special Lunar New Year music video titled meaning may all things go as you wish.

The video reflects the spirit of traditional tape.

Presented through a youthful and modern perspective.

It portrays familiar holiday scenes such as family reunions, new Year greetings, lucky money, and

These moments are interwoven with the continuous appearance of many well known artists.

Artists of different generations and styles appear together, creating a sense of excitement and warmth.

The music video delivers a joyful atmosphere, highlighting togetherness, optimism and hopes for a fortunate year ahead.

Turning back to domestic cinema, the spotlight is now on the phenomenon named Red Rain Raid.

Rain continued its winning streak at the 2025 Green Star Awards, thus taking home six major trophies.

The film was honored in several categories including Outstanding Creativity in Cinema, the supporting actor awarded to a fun man for his role as that most favorite Film actor Steven Nguyen, and

most favorite on screen couples Stephen Nguyen and Le Haeng.

The two most prestigious awards of the night, Best Director and Best Feature Film, also went to Red Rain, cementing its status as the biggest winner at this year's ceremony.

Beyond the glyphs of awards ceremonies and silver screens, the true heartbeat of Vietnamese artistry can be found in the patient hands of traditional craftspeople.

Deep in Vietnam's Central Highlands, a centuries old craft endures through the quiet dedication of Caha women.

Now they weave gui, a type of bamboo backpack not only for everyday needs but also as an integral part of their cultural festivals.

These handcrafted carriers embody skill, creativity and living connections to the traditions of the Kahua people.

Making a bamboo backpack begins with selecting the right materials.

Bamboo and Rattan we have to climb the mountains to harvest bamboo and rattan.

We carefully select stalks that are not too soft nor too hard.

Only those with the right texture meet our standards.

The most important step is shaping the base.

It has to be well balanced so the bamboo backpack can stand firmly for the body.

Each slat must be tightly w woven to keep the backpack strong and stable.

Bamboo backpacks vary in size, design and weaving patterns.

The most intricate and decorative are reserved for weddings and traditional festivals.

For special occasion, bamboo backpacks are smaller.

We add green tufts and intricate designs to make them unique.

To make the bamboo backpacks more durable, they are hung near the kitchen fire.

After weaving, where the warmth and gentle smoke keep them dry and protect them from insects.

The craft is passed down through generations with elders carefully guiding the young.

When I first learned to weave bamboo backpacks, it was very difficult, but

Kae patiently taught me we are proud of keeping our traditional craft alive.

In today's fast paced world where mass produced goods dominate the these humble bamboo backpacks still hold a unique value.

Each one is not only a reflection of the local community's rich culture, but

also quiet reminder of a sustainable, eco friendly way of life.
