🎬 Fundraiser screening: Myanmar in the Spotlight (4 shorts + Q&A)

A series of short films from Myanmar directors to raise funds for Pe Maung Same Film Fund (PMSFF), established in honor of the late documentary filmmaker Pe Maung Same. 

Pe Maung Same was arrested in Karenni State while filming and was subsequently sentenced to 3 years in Loikor Prison for "illegal association". Sadly, on August 19, 2024, at the age of 50, Pe Maung Same passed away due to spinal tuberculosis and the aftermath of military torture, just 3 days after being released from a military-run prison.

Pe Maung Same's close friends, including Lay Thida and fellow documentary filmmakers, lead this initiative. The fund will provide annual grants to young and aspiring filmmakers from Myanmar, enabling them to produce artistic and activist documentary stories.
