AWARDS : MA-CRY OF SILENCE

The team is thrilled to share that The Maw Naing’s last. feature film MA-Cry of silence has received the New Currents award following its world premiere at the Busan International Film Festival.

“MA – Cry of Silence is honored for its courageous portrayal of resistance to historical and ongoing political challenges under Myanmar’s political junta. Poetic and contemplative, using precise language and a clear understanding of the economy of means, the film illustrates both individual and collective awakening of female factory workers in solidarity and resistance in the face of being confined to an oppressive system and brutal working conditions. The Maw Naing’s film powerfully advocates for human rights and dignity under pressure in a repressive regime, serving as an urgent call to action.”

The film has also earned the Special Mention Award at the Bangkok World Film Festival, which was held from November 07 to November 17 2024.
