Following the production of Kim Vân Kiều (1923), Vietnam’s first indigenous film, La Société Indochine-Films et Cinéma released Kim Vân Kiều, Truyện An Nam (1924), a publication that documented and expanded upon the cinematic adaptation of Nguyễn Du’s Truyện Kiều. This written work provided a textual and visual record of the film, preserving its significance as a landmark in Vietnamese cultural representation and early cinema. Despite being directed by E.A. Famechon, the film was entirely performed by Vietnamese actors and featured authentic costumes and settings from the Quảng Lạc Theater in Hanoi. Its portrayal of feudal Vietnamese society, from mandarins to commoners, as well as traditional clothing, architecture, and customs, sparked discussions in both Vietnamese and French-language publications.
