The opening of 3D cinemas with free viewings in remote city districts has proved a hit among kids and parents, especially those living in suburban areas.
“It’s great to see 3D animated films. I love Puss in Boots and Doraemon. When I wear the 3D glasses I see the cats running towards me,” said eight-year-old Le Hoang Hanh Vy, a third grader from Nha Be district’s Nguyen Truc Primary School.
She said her parents have low income jobs and little spare time, which makes it difficult to take her to the city’s downtown to see films.
“I’ve seen Pooh’s Adventures and Alice in Wonderland many times without having to buy tickets. I like 3D films,” said Nguyen Thi My Huyen, a 7th grader of Nguyen Binh Khiem Junior High School in Cu Chi district.
The city’s authorities decided to finance the building of 3D cinemas in five suburban districts Nha Be, Can Gio, Cu Chi, Hoc Mon and Binh Chanh in 2012, with each costing more than 1.5 billion VND (71,420 USD).
They finished construction on 3D cinemas, which cost between 2.5 billion and 7 billion, in other districts last year. The projects were financed from the districts’ budgets.
3D cinemas are built in Children’s Culture Houses. The decision to build 3D cinemas in the districts was made after “Listening to Children’s Voices”, a meeting between District 2 officials and children, which was held in June 2011. At the meeting, children said that they’d like more 3D cinemas in rural areas, as for many familes, travelling into District 1 is too costly and time consuming.
The city’s People’s Committee entrusted the Tre (Youth) Film Company of the city’s Communist’s Youth Union to supply 3D films for the cinemas.-VNA
