There are two ways in which short films are being made in Myanmar. First is through the filmmaking workshops. Second is through personal financing. In both cases, the filmmakers and the crew involved in the film make little or no profit. Their main objective is to complete a story that they can show to the audience at local and international film festivals. One of the main advantages of making short films that won’t be played at local cinemas for profit is that it doesn’t have to go through the same stringent censorship board that all of the feature films have to go through. This means that young filmmakers can explore wider variation of stories and subjects.
