VietNamNet Bridge - Vietnamese film Cu va Chim Se Se (The Owl and the Sparrow), which has appeared in nearly 30 film festivals and won several prestigious awards, will hit US cinema screens in April.

Overseas Vietnamese director Stephen Gauger worked with the Chanh Phuong Film studio and wrote Cu va Chim Se Se to show during the upcoming Lunar New Year Festival.

The film is being released in five major US cities by the First Independent Company.
