Myanmar Diaries

Myanmar Diaries er satt sammen av en rekke dokumentariske og fiksjonaliserte kortfilmer laget av en gruppe unge anonyme filmskapere fra Myanmar, der militæret grep makten 1. februar i 2021. Sammensetningen av personlige fortellinger fra tiden etter kuppet tegner et dystert bilde av regimets terror, men viser også motstandsviljen og motet som finnes i befolkningen. Filmen gir en etterlengtet oppdatering fra Myanmar som har forsvunnet fra overskriftene.

Myanmar on the brink of collapse or at the start of a people’s revolution?

Vega Scene, Kino TRE

One year has passed since the military seized power in Myanmar in a military coup. The people responded through massive civil disobedience and large, creative street protests. Following the first wave of protests, arrests and brutal abuse, including of activists, journalists and others, international attention has faded and the protests have transformed into a civil war like situation in many parts of the country. Many people are in hiding or have fled the country. What is the situation in the country today? Is there a united opposition, and will they be able to challenge the military and bring back some form of democracy? Is the country heading towards full collapse or is there hope that the people’s revolution might succeed?
