Synopsis

Insein Rhythm is a humorously edited portrait of the sights, sounds and rhythms of Yangon’s Insein railway station – but a stone’s throw from the country’s infamous Insein prison.

Director's Biography

Soe Moe Aung is from Hmawbi, a town about 30 kilometres northwest of Myanmar’s former capital of Yangon. Having trained as an audio technician and radio announcer, he worked for a number of local stations and also written drama for radio before joining Yangon Film School (YFS) in 2012. His first short YFS documentary, Insein Rhythm premiered at Visions du réel international documentary film festival in Nyon in Switzerland in 2013, and his short drama, Next Month won an award at the Wathann Film Festival in Yangon in 2013. He has since directed another short fictional work, To School; this title was also produced during a Yangon Film School workshop, as was A Man for All Seasons.
