We’re proud to announce the DVB Peacock Film Festival 2024, an event dedicated to showcasing the high-quality work of Myanmar’s documentary filmmakers. It will shine a spotlight on under-reported stories in Myanmar since the 2021 military coup. It will amplify the voices of the people of Myanmar who stand up to the military regime and share their stories of survival.
“We warmly welcome you to join our first-ever DVB Peacock Film Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It is a great honor to screen these films from storytellers, journalists and filmmakers from inside Myanmar and from exile, where many have had to seek sanctuary from the military, which suppresses freedom of expression and stories about life inside Myanmar since 2021,” said DVB Chief Editor Aye Chan Naing.
“These courageous filmmakers deserve to have their stories shared with an international audience, given that they’ve risked their own lives to document life under a brutal military regime, which wages war against the people in an attempt to spread fear and terror,” he added.
The DVB Peacock Film Festival 2024 seeks to bring global attention to Myanmar’s crisis since the 2021 coup, documenting the resilience, bravery, and unwavering spirit of its people through a wide array of films. The festival will feature screenings of DVB Short Docs (DSDC), Citizen Journalist (CJ) Shorts, and special news feature documentaries, along with other critically acclaimed films.
