Description

Celebrating friendship through film. The Singapore Myanmar Film Festival 2013 is an inaugural event and this year we celebrate the independent film makers from Myanmar.

You'll enjoy 5 winning movies (short films) at each session (1pm and 3.30pm) by independent film-makers that give you an intimate glimpse into the lives of people in Myanmar.


You'll get to meet these film-makers who will be there to share about the inspirations behind the films.

THE SHORT-LISTED FILMS
(in alphabetical order):


A. Bamboo Grove

A film about a naive young city doctor on his first job after being posted to a rural
Kayin* community in the Delta. Visiting his patients by boat, this doctor comes
into conflict with traditional Kayin ideas about medicine through U Kee Yo, an
old man determined to remain in his beloved bamboo grove.

B. Bungkus

'Bungkus' is the Malay word for 'parcel', the name given to young women sent
abroad to marry men they may never have met so that they can send money back
to their families in Myanmar. Set in the Chin* community of Yangon, the story
follows Zing Zing whose tenderly flowering relationship with a local boy Asang is
threatened when her mother decides she must become a 'parcel'.

*Myanmar ethnic group

C. Burmese Butterfly

Twenty-one-year-old hairdresser Phyo Lay looks back on a turbulent childhood
and adolescence and describes how difficult it is to come out in Myanmar. A rare
glimpse into the emergent gay community in this hitherto isolated country.

D. My Grandfather's house

Thakin Htein Win’s granddaughter reminisces about the old wooden house
where she grew up - a house which was once a meeting place for some of the
architects of Burma’s (Myanmar) independence movement, in which her
grandfather played a pivotal role.

E. The Old Photographer

An affectionate portrait of ninety-year-old Indian photographer G. M. Ahuja, who
still lives in the once popular photographic studio in downtown Yangon that his
father opened almost a century ago.


Come join us on 7th July!
