This film festival has 108 films participating. For the first time, the festival opened an additional film section for the direct-to-video feature film category. There is not a single Golden Lotus for feature film, direct-to-video film, children and animated film. The jury only awarded the Golden Lotus for two documentaries about Leader Hồ Chí Minh: "''Hồ Chí Minh: Chân dung một con người''" and "''Hồ Chí Minh: Hình ảnh của Người''". The film "''Gánh xiếc rong''" was highly appreciated but also caused a lot of controversy among the judges. In the end, it was only received the Silver Lotus award.
