Description: |
They Call It Myanmar: Lifting The Curtain Film Screening at the Simons Center for Geometry and Physics in Stony Brook, New York. (Robert H. Lieberman/2012/USA/88 minutes)
Shot clandestinely over a two year period, this film provides a rare look into the second most isolated country on the planet, held in a stasis by a brutal military regime for almost a half century. From over 100 interviews of people across Burma, including the recently released Aung San Suu Kyi, interwoven with stunning footage of Burmese life this documentary is truly unique. Praised by Roger Ebert as "a thing of beauty, a hymn to a land that has grown out of the oldest cultures in Asia."
This screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Robert Lieberman. Presented in conjunction with the Port Jefferson Documentary Series. |
