Synopsis
As the latest instalment of the Ten Years franchise, the omnibus film Ten Years Myanmar is a collective effort from five Myanmar filmmakers to speculate on the future of the country that has been torn apart since the coup in 2021.
Production Note: The result is five very different scenarios and visions, some grim and some more hopeful, and all together will inspire the Myanmar and international audience to stay resilient in times of adversity. All five of the filmmakers have continued to live and work in Myanmar, even after many fellow filmmakers have left, and this film also serves as a model for those working in environments where freedom of expression is limited in how to express their thoughts and feelings, some of which may be controversial.
