10년: 미얀마
Producer
<10년: 미얀마>는 다섯 명의 감독이 다섯 개의 이야기를 들려준다. 이전 시리즈가 직관적이고 명쾌한 메시지를 그렸다면 미얀마 편은 보다 절제되어 있으며 관객의 더 많은 상상을 요구한다. 그럼에도 각 에피소드에서 연상되는 의문사, 정치범, 저항군, 폭력, 검열 등의 키워드는 2021년 군부 쿠데타 이후 미얀마의 엄혹하고 암울한 현실을 상기시킨다.

5 Beats Before Death
Director
Nobody knows what death is, as nobody has survived long enough to talk about it. But maybe death is not the end of life after all. 'When an old person dies, a baby is born', as one of the old ladies says without a hint of sorrow in '5 Beats Before Death', which follows the lives of those still alive at a home for elderly women in Burma. Here, they prepare with Buddhist tranquility and cheerful black humour for what the afterlife may bring. They speak openly and without fear about the life that will soon end, and about the journey that they are about to embark on. The only thing they are afraid of is that they might come back as ghosts. Therefore, it's important for the old ladies to say farewell to their loved ones and to face death on their own, without being attached to anything in this world. This is something that has to be done, but it isn't always easy. But they do have each other's good company, and the result is a cheerful, funny and wonderfully life-affirming film.
A Million Threads
Editor
Every year on a full moon night in November, thirty women gather at Shwe Phone Pwint Pagoda in the Pazundaung district of Myanmar’s former capital Yangon to take part in a competition known as Matho Thingan. Their task is to weave the finest robes for the temple’s Buddha images. All robes must be finished by dawn otherwise they are considered ‘stale’. Cheered on by large crowds and an orchestra of pulsating drums and high-pitched oboes, the teams of dedicated female competitors work the handlooms frenziedly back and forth in a feat that celebrates Buddha’s own foster mother, Gautami, who is said to have woven her son a robe in a single day.
