Partnership and Development

Rationale

After decades of alarming scientific pieces of evidence about the collapse of ecological limits and with the conviction that we must act in this critical decade, “#It’s Time To Act - A Nature Film Festival in Vietnam” is the first environmental film showcase featuring international and local environmentally themed films and conversations on sustainability and harmony with nature in Vietnam. 

The Film Festival coordinated by the Embassy of Spain in Vietnam with contributions from participating 14 countries including Europe, Latin America, Canada.etc and 09 environmental organisations from Vietnam. WildAct Vietnam is the key organisational partner of the first edition of this Festival.
