___ ANNOUNCEMENT
BEHIND THE SCREEN – Best ASEAN Documentary at Salaya DOC 2014

Yangon Film School is delighted to announce that Aung Nwai Htway’s documentary BEHIND THE SCREEN received the award for Best ASEAN Documentary at the Salaya International Documentary Film Festival in Salaya, Thailand on Sunday, 30 March.

The jury commented on the film as follows:

“The film keeps a very sincere and intimate approach in using extracts of old movies and real material, to mix reality and fiction, in a simple and subtle manner. This experience uses fiction as a sideway to give sense to the memory of a family and to help healing a personal trauma. It shows how a documentary can use fiction to find the truth.”

We congratulate the filmmaker and his whole crew – what a great achievement!

It’s an annual festival that seeks to share the hope for a better world where all the lives can be in harmony with environment and nature. During 8 days event we present more than 100 films (shorts and features) every year, with themes ranging from various environmental problems from all over the world.
