Having joined Yangon Film School in 2011, Khin Myanmar (born in 1988) initially followed in the footsteps of her filmmaker father U Kyaw Zaw and focused on editing, shaping such titles as Solomon, about the leader of the Chin National Front, and Rubber’s Last Song about traditional methods of rubber production in Mon State. Her directing credits include The Dream and More Than A Tree, an award-winning film about the importance of mangroves for coastal communities which screened at a string of festivals in Europe, Korea and Japan. Her fiction debut Missing was one of the first fiction films in Myanmar to address the wrongs of the previous military dictatorship. She was also part of the editing team working on the post-production of a television drama series about the rule of law entitled, The Sun, the Moon and the Truth which aired on national television in Myanmar. Khin Myanmar often shares her skills with her peers as either a directing or an editing mentor during courses at YFS, and recently edited fellow YFS alumna Lin Hnin Aye’s Sound of the Spirits.
