Việt Nam’s equivalent of the Oscars, the Golden and Silver Kite Awards (founded in 1993 as the Golden and Silver Lotus Awards) are awarded every two years at the National Film Festival in a variety of categories, including feature film, documentary film, short film, scientific film and cartoon. At the 2004 Golden and Silver Kite Awards the Golden Kite for Best Feature Film went to Nguyễn Thanh Vân for his blockbuster film Ngừời đàn bà Mộng du ('Sleepwalking Woman'), with Nguyen Quang's Trò Đùa Thiên Lôi ('the God of Thunder at Play') receiving the only Silver Kite. A Special Award for Best Feature Film was also awarded to the docu-drama Nguyễn Ái Quốc ở Hồng Công, a co-production between the Việt Nam Writers’ Association Film Studio and the Zhoujiang Film Studio in China’s Guangdong Province, co-directed by Nguyễn Khắc Lợi and Yuan Shiji, which tells the story of Hồ Chí Minh’s life in Hong Kong during the 1930s. In 2003 the Golden Kite Award went to Phi Tiến Sơn’s Lưới Trời (‘Heaven’s Net’), a film about corruption a film about corruption which closely mirrored the 2003 trial of Năm Cam’s criminal gang in Hồ Chí Minh City, with Lê Hoàng’s box office phenomenon Gái Nhảy (‘Bar Girls’), Ðỗ Minh Tuấn’s international award-winning Vua Bãi Rác (‘King of Debris’) and Vương Ðức’s Của Rơi (‘A Dropped Gift’) taking the three Silver Kites.
