80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day events to be broadcast live on the CGV big screen
1 / 1
For the first time, the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on 2 September will be broadcast live on the CGV big screen, opening a community space brimming with emotion and solidarity among compatriots across the country.
More than just a cinema, CGV has now become a “community connection point”, where people nationwide gather to witness the nation’s most important moment: the A80th Anniversary. On the big screen, the historical event transforms into a “national concert”, radiating the spirit of solidarity and pride in Vietnam.
Eighty years have passed since 1945, when the Declaration of Independence was proclaimed at Ba Dinh Square. That moment marked the opening of a new chapter in history, indelibly etched into the memories of the Vietnamese people. In 2025, the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on 2 September serves not only as a moment to reflect, but also as an opportunity for the nation to relive its pride together. The A80th Grand Ceremony is therefore both a solemn commemoration and a “memory meeting place” for multiple generations.

What is new this year is that the event extends beyond Ba Dinh Square. With the support of VTVgo, the entire programme from the main ceremony and parade to the march and art performances will be broadcast live at CGV cinemas nationwide. Audiences can attend completely free of charge.
On the giant screen, with cinematic sound and visuals, viewers feel the heroic atmosphere as if they were present in the Capital: the pounding of drum beats, the thunderous marching footsteps, and the red and yellow stars fluttering to majestic music. Cinema complexes in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hai Phong, and Can Tho become “modern squares”, where people sit together, reflecting on history in spaces that are both solemn and intimate.

Previously, CGV introduced new experiences through the ICECON brand: concerts, sports, e-sports and so on. But A80 marks a special turning point, the first time a national event has been brought to the big screen. This transcends the boundary between cinema and real-life squares, turning the screen into a bridge to the community, allowing thousands to share sacred moments together.

More importantly, this initiative is not commercial. CGV emphasises that it is a contribution to the community, a way to accompany the nation during this pivotal event. Mr Ko Jae Soo, General Director of CGV Vietnam, shared: “We hope that through this special activity, audiences will gain an additional community space to share in the solemn and heroic atmosphere of the nation, spreading pride and solidarity. It is also a way for CGV to help make the A80 event more widespread and meaningful, accompanying the people through the nation’s important moments.”

It is this spirit that makes the A80 Festival exceptional. It is not merely an event at Ba Dinh, but an experience that resonates everywhere, even within modern life. The emotional tears, the applause when the red flag flutters on the big screen, this is the “living legacy” of Legacy 80 where history continues vividly for today’s generation.

In the cinema, as hundreds of people sit side by side, joy and pride are palpable. The national spirit endures, simply taking new forms to inspire future generations. When cinema becomes a bridge connecting past and present, the meaning of “triumph” in the journey of the Vietnamese nation becomes clearer.
