Los Angeles, Feb 14 (TIWN): As Myanmar continues to remain in a state of siege by its own military, which is hell bent on curbing the civil uprising after two years of the coup, an anonymous Myanmar Film Collective, a group of local filmmakers are working to expose the crimes committed by the military through their work in films.

Deadline recently got in touch with a group to talk about their film 'Myanmar Diaries' and the civil movements.  'Myanmar Diaries', a hybrid doc-fiction is a feature born out of the concerted effort that intends to make the audience aware of what all has been happening inside the country for the past two years. Myanmar Film Collective recently spoke with Deadline ahead of the premiere of 'Myanmar Diaries' in the Berlin International Film Festival's Panorama program on February 13. 

They told Deadline, "We are desperately hoping for international attention. We want to be seen. Hopefully we can show audiences worldwide, but also lawmakers and politicians, the living circumstances of the people of Myanmar through our film. We show personal stories - on how the current violence affects our daily lives, and we show how much we have to all endure."
