An Emotion-Filled Opening Space at Ariyana Danang

On the evening of June 28, 2026, at Ariyana Convention Centre Danang, the 4th Danang Asian Film Festival – DANAFF IV officially opened in a radiant atmosphere of art, cinema, and emotion. More than the opening ceremony of an international film event, the evening presented a vibrant artistic journey where Vietnamese folk music, Western symphony, ballet, contemporary dance, and stage technology came together by the coast of Da Nang.

From the very first moments, the stage at Ariyana Convention Centre Danang created a solemn and cinematic impression. The modern sound and lighting system, the carefully staged performance space, and the appearance of the Sun Symphony Orchestra opened up a distinctive atmosphere: elegant, profound, yet refreshing, reflecting the spirit of a film festival that aims to foster cultural dialogue between Asia and the world.

“Liên khúc dân ca 3 miền”: A Cultural Greeting from Vietnam

Opening the program was “Liên khúc dân ca 3 miền”, a performance arranged from five traditional Vietnamese folk melodies. Performed by the Sun Symphony Orchestra under the baton of conductor Đồng Quang Vinh, with arrangement by composer Trần Mạnh Hùng, familiar folk tunes were given a contemporary symphonic interpretation.

The performance not only evoked pride in Vietnamese cultural identity, but also offered a refined cultural greeting to filmmakers, artists, and guests from Vietnam and around the world. As folk music from the three regions blended with symphonic sound, the DANAFF IV stage seemed to open a bridge from tradition to modernity, and from Vietnam to the world.

“Lý kéo chài” – “Hò Ba Lý”: Folk Heritage in a Contemporary Spirit

Continuing the artistic flow was the mashup “Lý kéo chài” – “Hò Ba Lý”, performed by singer Phương Vy, singer Đỗ Hoàng Hiệp, and MQ Dance Team. Two folk melodies, one carrying the spirit of the Southern river region and the other deeply rooted in the Quang cultural identity of Central Vietnam, came together in a lively, joyful, and vibrant performance.

The combination of vocals, choreography, and lighting helped traditional music become more approachable for contemporary audiences. This also reflected a remarkable spirit of the DANAFF IV opening ceremony: tradition was not confined to nostalgia, but brought onto today’s stage to continue living, moving, and spreading.

“The Beautiful Blue Danube”: Classical Beauty in a Cinematic Space

In another artistic shade, “The Beautiful Blue Danube”, performed by the Sun Symphony Orchestra and accompanied by a ballet performance by Hiền Sến and Mẫn Nhi, led the audience into the classical beauty of Europe. The timeless melody by Johann Strauss II resonated with elegance and grace, while the language of ballet created soaring movements rich in cinematic quality.

If the folk performances affirmed Vietnamese identity, this performance expanded the artistic space of the opening night to the world. From folk music to classical symphony, the program created an artistic journey of depth, reflecting the international spirit of connection at DANAFF IV.

“Phép Màu” – “A Little Dream of Me”: A Gentle and Inspiring Finale

Closing the program was the mashup “Phép Màu” – “A Little Dream of Me”, performed by singer Đỗ Hoàng Hiệp, Tuyết Mai, and MQ Dance Team. It was a gentle yet resonant ending, evoking belief in the beautiful things that art and cinema can bring.

From folk music to symphony, from ballet to contemporary dance, the DANAFF IV opening ceremony guided the audience through many emotional layers: pride, tenderness, reflection, and joy. Each performance not only enriched the program visually and artistically, but also contributed to a complete emotional flow for the opening night.

DANAFF IV and the Cultural Story of Da Nang

DANAFF IV 2026 takes place from June 28 to July 4 under the message “A bridge from Asia to the world”, bringing together more than 100 films, around 200 screenings, and the participation of many artists, filmmakers, and cinema experts from Vietnam and abroad.

Within that larger picture, the artistic performances at the opening ceremony served not only as entertainment, but also as part of a broader story about Da Nang: a coastal city developing through tourism, events, culture, and creativity. This direction helps Da Nang be remembered not only for its blue sea, iconic bridges, or modern accommodation system, but also for cultural events with depth and the ability to touch emotions.
