The DVB will bring a selection of short films from Burmese film-makers on developments in Burma, showing untold stories of resilience, justice, and the struggle for human rights in the country. These films showcase the voices of the ordinary people of Burma, who have suffered so much since the illegal military coup in February 2021, amid ongoing fighting across the country to resist the restoration of military rule.Following the successful Peacock Film Festival held in Chiang Mai in December 2025, DVB is now bringing selected, award-winning films to Bangkok.
After showing the films, there will be a panel of film-makers, political analysts, Burmese media figures and activists to discuss what’s happening in the country, and what 2026 holds for the Burmese people.
Aye Chan Naing, the co-founder, chief editor and executive director of DVB will give opening remarks at the event.
Phil Robertson, director of Asia Human Rights and Labour Advocates and a FCCT board member, will moderate.
Mon Mon Myat, senior management consultant, Democratic Voice of Burma.
