(VOVworld) - Vietnam’s movie “Floating lives” by director Nguyen Phan Quang Binh was screened on Friday at the UN headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, as part of the ASEAN film festival. Based on Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tu's best selling short story "Boundless Field," Floating Lives draws audiences into the colourful daily life of characters scratching out a living in the beautiful but unforgiving landscape of the immense, mysterious and prescient Mekong Delta. Addressing the screening, Vietnam’s ambassador Pham Quoc Tru, Deputy Head of Viet Nam's Mission to the UN, said cultural development and promotion among countries from all over the world are of great importance to improving their cooperation and mutual understanding. He underscored the importance of promoting Vietnamese films to the world as part of efforts to boost Vietnam’s international integration.
