Following 'Red Rain', the Army Film Studio is preparing to produce the film 'Land of Fire'.

Recently, the General Political Department of the Vietnam People's Army held a conference to discuss preparations for the production of the feature film "Land of Fire." Following "Red Rain ," the People's Army Film Studio has been assigned to carry out a new feature film project in accordance with the policy approved by the Standing Committee of the Central Military Commission. The film aims to promote and commemorate important political and historical events of the country.

General Truong Thien To, Member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, Member of the Central Military Commission, and Deputy Head of the General Political Department of the Vietnam People's Army, chaired the conference. Speaking at the conference, the General emphasized that the implementation of the "Land of Fire" project continues to demonstrate the attention and guidance of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense to the creation and production of feature films serving the task of propaganda and traditional education. To ensure the quality of the work, he requested that the preparation and production process be conducted scientifically, meticulously, and rigorously, with a high sense of responsibility. Specifically, the film must ensure historical accuracy, political and ideological soundness, while also possessing artistic quality, appeal, and the ability to evoke emotions and create empathy with the public. These are the requirements for a work that simultaneously fulfills the task of propaganda and education, while also aiming for artistic value and lasting vitality in the hearts of the audience.

At the conference, Colonel Nguyen Thu Dung, Director of the People's Army Film Studio, reported on the results of the preparations for the production of the film "Land of Fire" . The report focused on the process of developing and refining the script, and also proposed several contents requiring guidance from the Head of the General Political Department and coordination and support from relevant agencies.

The delegates discussed the artistic quality, political orientation, production scale, and coordination mechanisms between agencies and units during the project implementation.

After hearing the report and opinions, General Truong Thien To basically agreed with the proposals of the People's Army Film Studio; and at the same time acknowledged the proactive and positive efforts of the unit and relevant agencies in the initial preparation steps.

"Land of Fire" is based on an original script by Meritorious Artist Bui Tuan Dung. Meritorious Artist Dang Thai Huyen is responsible for developing and refining the script and serving as director. This is the first time the two artists have collaborated on a film project, both focusing on the theme of revolutionary war – a subject that demands historical understanding, humanistic depth, and creative prowess.

Accompanying the completion of the work was Colonel Nguyen Thu Dung, Director of the People's Army Film Studio, in the role of script editor and film editor. This work aimed to ensure consistency between content, ideological orientation, artistic requirements, and the criteria set for a film on the theme of revolutionary war. In the production organization phase, Colonel Kieu Thanh Thuy, Deputy Director of the People's Army Film Studio, served as Production Director, responsible for coordinating and ensuring the necessary conditions for the project to be implemented according to the plan, requirements, and scale determined.

"Red Rain," produced by the People's Army Film Studio and directed by Dang Thai Huyen, was released in 2025. The film was a box office phenomenon, grossing over 714 billion VND and attracting more than 8 million viewers.
