[8][9][10][11] A surprise was the Silver Lotus award given to the private film "Những cô gái chân dài".
This time, only one seminar was held, which is "Solutions to attract movie audiences" (Vietnamese: "Giải pháp thu hút khán giả điện ảnh").
[15][16] The festival also includes the following activities: The cancellation of the "public favorite" award without notice, the addition of a Silver Lotus award to "Những cô gái chân dài" while excluding or honoring films of high artistic quality that represent Judging criteria are quite arbitrary.
The announcement that the awards were decided by the Steering Committee of the Film Festival on the basis of the proposal of the jury caused many questions and doubts.
The invitations began at 9:30 p.m., but they had to wait almost an hour without eating because the host was still outside the stage for the music show without an apology when the reception was delayed.
