(VOVworld) – “Vị”, (“Taste”), a film by Vietnamese director Le Bao won the “Most Potential Project” award at the Singapore International Film Festival, which took place last week. The film tells a story of Bassley, a Nigerian football player who does many jobs to earn a living in Ho Chi Minh City in the hope of reuniting with his wife and children. The short film is only an idea for a longer movie but it was carefully made by Le Bao and producer Dong Phuong Thao, who spent much time persuading foreign actors to do the film.

Before it was submitted to the Singapore International Film Festival, the film was screened at the Thailand Film Festival in late August.
