Apart from films by invited directors Nguyen Quang Dung, Nguyen Hoang Diep and Bao Nguyen, the festival will screen films selected from the WildFest short film competition.
There will also be live performances by well-known artists.
WildFest is part of Operation Game Chance (OGC), an alliance between the US and Vietnam, which aims to end wildlife trafficking by raising awareness among Vietnamese consumers.
Launched earlier this year, the film competition's organiser received submissions from filmmakers in Vietnam, South Africa, Thailand, Malaysia and Australia.
