Film Cycle Docs Hedy Lamarr 2023: Myanmar Diaries

The Myanmar Film Collective, operating anonymously, releases these powerful film diaries to condemn the atrocities committed by General Min Aung Hlaing in Myanmar since the 2021 coup. This young collective of anonymous filmmakers courageously risks their lives to expose the harsh reality of their country. By blending documentary and fiction, they construct a cinematic monument that captures the suffocating experience of living in a nightmare plagued by blatant human rights violations.

It serves as a resounding collective outcry against the atrocities of General Min Aung Hlaing, using citizen journalism, cinema, and imagination as a defense against dictatorial horror. This impactful work was awarded the Best Documentary at the Berlinale 2022.
