The next stop on the DVB Peacock Film Festival international tour is the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) in Sydney, Australia on March 29. It will feature documentary films about the crisis in Burma since the 2021 military coup. A total of 15 documentary films will be screened.
“We hope that the people of Australia, members of parliament, and policy-makers come to understand the human rights violations and reality on-the-ground in Myanmar. We will use our voices [through film] to reach them,” said Khin Yupar, the DVB Peacock Film Festival co-organizer.
The 15 films were made by filmmakers and citizen journalists inside Burma working under precarious conditions. The DVB Peacock Film Festival was launched in Chiang Mai, Thailand Dec. 8-10. This year, the films have been screened in Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Czech Republic, and New Zealand. For more information, go to DVB Peacock Film Festival on Facebook.
