With the theme "Freedom - Open the Frame - Expand the Vision," the event aims to realize Ho Chi Minh City's commitments within the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. HCMC Youth CineFest 2026 features two categories: short films and documentaries, scheduled to take place from September 26 to 30.

A notable highlight of this year's festival is the partnership with the International Vietnam School (IVS) as a strategic partner, along with the participation of the reigning Miss Sea Vietnam Global 2025, Nguyen Hoai Phuong Anh, who is currently a faculty member at the school.

Through the activities at the 2026 Youth CineFest, the program aims to create a professional space where young cinematic ideas can be heard and connected with appropriate resources, contributing to motivating the next generation of filmmakers in Ho Chi Minh City.
