2025 FESTIVAL PROGRAMME

Love can come from our first sight of each other. However, to go beyond that first sight, love transforms itself into a lifelong journey of commitment and a lifetime filled with our stories.

And suddenly one day, when we look back, with all the wrinkles on our faces, we realise how far love has taken us.

When we love each other, our stories become as fascinating as a movie.
When we watch a movie together, we see the seeds that grew into our love.

A selection of more than 21 brilliant films, celebrating stories of love around the world. All are ready to be shown at the Hanoi International Queer Film Week 2025. Will you go beyond love with us?
