A German film week kicked off at the Hanoi-based Goethe Institute on January 25.

Seven movies of the 1940s and 50s will be screened: The lost one (1951), Women’s destiny (1952), Sky without stars (1955), the Hooligans (1956), Berlin, Schonhauser Street (1957), and Different from Me and You (1957).

The movies are among the most typical works that portray Germany and the lives of its people after World War II. They will be held in big cities to celebrate the “German Year” in Vietnam, said Marina May, from the Goethe Institute.

The event is part of a year-long celebration of German culture to mark the 35^th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
