The story of Burma, told with stunning footage shot clandestinely over a 2year period by filmmaker Robert H. Lieberman. It provides an astonishing and intimate look inside at what has been one of the most isolated countries on the planet, lifting the curtain on the everyday life of the people in this land that has been held hostage by a brutal and superstitious military regime for 48 years.

A revealing interview with Nobel Peace Prize winner Aung San Suu Kyi conducted just after her most recent release from house arrest is interwoven with extensive interviews and interactions with Burmese people from all around this incredibly diverse nation. The film, culled from over 120 hours of striking images, is an impressionistic journey that leads across the vastness of Burma. It traces the history of Burma from its beginnings in the ancient city of Bagan, through colonial times, recent uprisings, the devastating Cyclone Nargis that killed 150,000 people, and up to the present day.

Back on the tourist map after being off-limits for years. The New York Times’ article last week on “45 Places to Go” which noted the country’s “world-class boutique hotels and deserted beaches.”

With renowned cultural treasures, world-class boutique hotels and deserted beaches, Myanmar has long been high on intrepid travelers’ wish lists. For years, though, heeding calls by the pro-democracy leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and others, many stayed away in protest of Myanmar’s authoritarian regime.

Co-Sponsored and Presented by Asian Student Union (ASU) of San Francisco State University, Burmese Youth Association (BYA) and the Network of Myanmar American Association (NetMAA). The SF Burmese Film festival is the first ever held for the Myanmar (Burmese) community in the San Francisco and Bay Area.

Please join us for this special opportunity to hear and meet the well-known actress Thet Mon Myint.
