Myanmar, 2022
Documentary, 70 min
Hidden from the world’s TV cameras, life under Myanmar’s junta of terror in the aftermath of last year’s military coup has been largely invisible. As an act of creative resistance, the anonymous Myanmar Film Collective composed this feature-length film by blurring reality and fiction, all segments from their first-person perspective, woven together with blood-chilling eye-witness footage in the form of citizen journalism. Berlinale’s artistic director Carlo Chatrian highlighted the film in recent interviews as being “very politically relevant.”
