The Embassy of Italy in Hanoi is taking part in the 25th edition of the European Film Festival, organised by the Delegation of the European Union to Vietnam, which returns from 19 November to 6 December 2026 with a programme featuring no fewer than 34 films.
Italy will be represented by two films that showcase the richness and vitality of Italian cinema: La Dolce Vita, Federico Fellini’s timeless masterpiece and an icon of world cinema, and Five Seconds, the latest film by Paolo Virzì. Two works from different eras and with distinct sensibilities, yet united by their ability to portray social change and explore the complexities of human existence.
Screenings in Hanoi will take place at the National Cinema Centre (87 Lang Ha, O Cho Dua, Hanoi), according to the following schedule:
- 25 November, 7:30 pm: La Dolce Vita by Federico Fellini (Italy/France, 1960, 174 minutes), followed by an in-depth discussion of the film with Vietnamese filmmaker Trần Anh Hùng.
- 1 December, 7:30 pm: Five Seconds by Paolo Virzì (Italy, 2025, 105 minutes).
Tickets for these and all other screenings will be available for purchase, tentatively from 7:00 pm on 12 November 2026, through the National Cinema Centre website (https://chieuphimquocgia.com.vn/festivals?page=1) or directly at the cinema box office. Direct ticket-purchase links will also be available on the respective film pages on the Festival’s official website. Each ticket costs VND 40,000.
