He hopes this will mark the beginning of a long-term collaboration.<\/p>\n According to Mr. Paul Abela, Ho Chi Minh City is a dynamic cinematic ecosystem of Southeast Asia. The guidebook helps make filming more convenient and transparent, providing administrative information, filming locations and studios, and will continue to be further improved in the future.<\/p>\n Explaining the reason for France\u2019s support, Mr. Paul Abela said the audiovisual sector is a pillar in the France\u2013Vietnam Strategic Partnership, and cinema has long served as a cultural bridge between the two countries.<\/p>\n \u201cThis initiative contributes to building a sustainable film ecosystem for Ho Chi Minh City, professionalizing the reception of film crews, attracting international productions, developing post-production and animation, and promoting film tourism. At the same time, it creates more employment, training, and international cooperation opportunities for Vietnam\u2019s young workforce.<\/p>\n This is the first operational tool supporting international film crews and affirms Ho Chi Minh City\u2019s ambition to become a leading film hub in Southeast Asia,\u201d Mr. Paul Abela shared.<\/p>\n This is the first time in Vietnam that a locality has proactively developed a specialized guidebook for international film crews, providing comprehensive information on locations, services, infrastructure, support procedures, communication systems, and resources ready to serve film production in Ho Chi Minh City.<\/p>\n The handbook \u201cHo Chi Minh City \u2013 Film Production Destination\u201d was developed over 2 years \u2013 Photo: TTO<\/em><\/p>\n The launch of the Handbook is also the first activity demonstrating the strong commitment of Ho Chi Minh City after being recognized by UNESCO as a Creative City in the field of Cinema. With this title, the City aims to build a professional film production support ecosystem, creating favorable conditions for domestic and international film crews to access and work in Vietnam.<\/p>\n The Handbook provides an overview of the city\u2019s geography, climate, transportation, and services; a list of prominent and potential filming locations; lists of production support units, logistics services, human resources; procedures, processes, and guidelines for working with regulatory agencies; as well as quick contact information and focal points for film crews.<\/p>\n This is seen as an initial driving force that will help Ho Chi Minh City continue to develop a \u201cone-stop support mechanism for film crews,\u201d modernize infrastructure, and promote investment in the film industry.<\/p>\n Author: VAN HA \u2013 TTO<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" S\u00e1ng 23-11 l\u1ec5 ra m\u1eaft C\u1ea9m nang \u201cTh\u00e0nh ph\u1ed1 H\u1ed3 Ch\u00ed Minh\u00a0– \u0110i\u1ec3m \u0111\u1ebfn s\u1ea3n xu\u1ea5t phim\u201d \u0111\u00e3 di\u1ec5n ra trong khu\u00f4n kh\u1ed5 Li\u00ean hoan phim Vi\u1ec7t Nam l\u1ea7n th\u1ee9 24 t\u1ea1i TP.HCM.
