Foreword
MEMORY ! Festival in Yangon
MEMORY! International Film Heritage Festival was created in 2013 as one of the very
few festivals dedicated to Cinema Heritage around the world.
A journey to the past, a window onto the world of
Women !
MEMORY! is the sole festival of its kind in Asia.
Over 50 classics from around the world during 10 days in Yangon
Why ilm heritage ? Across the world ilms are at risk. One half of all ilms made before
1950 and over 80% made before 1929 are lost forever. Preserving ilms and enabling
access to this heritage is a cause that is shared by all countries.
Festival’s theme in 2015 is centered around WOMEN!
Future generations must be able to have access to these works.
Conferences and masterclass during 5 days from May 30th to June
3rd featuring International speakers from the ilm industry
Matching the standards of an international ilm festival, the objective of MEMORY!
Festival is primarily to enable access to ilm heritage to wide audience as a key part of
memory and source of enrichment in a country with very little access to classics.
At this critical and delicate time in the history of cinema, witnessing the transition
from ilm to digital, MEMORY! Is also an annual rendezvous in Asia for the professionals
working in the ilm industry, and in particular ilm heritage. MEMORY! gathers together
international delegations from around the world who contribute actively to the Conferences and Workshops Program.
Prestigious Guests of Honor from Myanmar and abroad :
actors and ilmmakers to highlight Film Heritage
MEMORY Music & Cinema Program :
Live performances for silent movies
Free admission to all events
This festival, is non-proit with free admission to all events (screenings and conferences). It is quite an adventure to set up such an event and it takes several months
of planning and hard work as the ilms of the past are spread and not always easy to
locate. But here we are, ready for this journey.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the HE U Ye Htut, Minister of Information, who believed in this festival and gave us the full support of the Myanmar ilm
organizations. We also express our deepest gratitude to HE Thierry Mathou, Ambassador of France in Myanmar who encouraged actively this festival to happen in Yangon and supported its organization.
And of course, we would like to stress that this festival would never have existed without the incredible support of all our partners who also believed in the program. Our
thanks go to all.

This program will propose 3 live performances : silent ilms will be revisited by Myanmar and foreign musicians, like in the early age of cinema…
From one country to another, from the early days of cinema to more recent classics,
from one vision to another. MEMORY! will present above 50 different version of women
- loved, hated, despised, criticized, admired, heroic, defeated, mean or brave…
- starting as early as 1906.
The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926), one of the irst animated feature ilms will be
screened a live performance by Myanmar traditional musicians under the supervision
of famous Myanmar ilmmaker U Kyi Soe Tun
Through this selection, the festival aims at opening a window onto the world of the
past so that we may better understand the world of to day.
And Fritz Lang’s monumental Metropolis, 1927 science-iction movie will be revisited
with a 2-piano live accompaniment, by German pianists Pierre Oser and Katharina
Brandl, thanks to the key contribution of the Goethe Institut.

Building a selection around a theme gives us a starting point, and makes it possible to guide our
audience through the rich history of cinema worldwide. 120 years after the birth of motion pictures, we offer you a collection organized around the theme of WOMEN. With over fifty heritage
films from very different countries and periods, the festival will offer myriad different portraits
of women: loved, hated, despised, criticized, admired, heroic, defeated, mean or brave... And you
will be surprised at how contemporary still are many of the films from the dawn of cinema.

Sublime moments of silent ilms and
live music.

During MEMORY! Festival, silent ilms will be revisited by musician like in the early age
of cinema... Film Heritage comprises silent films… For the screenings of those movies, either there is a recorded soundtrack either there is a live performance on stage
during the screening, as it was the case at the early age of cinema. Within MEMORY!
Festival, we have programmed 3 sessions with a live performance for silent films.
The idea is to create awareness about the screening of such films, by performing a
musical accompaniment, in conditions similar to the time they were released. Each
of this accompaniment will be very different and a unique experience, thanks to the
creativity of the various musicians involved.

her own invention, partially inspired
by traditional shadow play. The plot
is a pastiche of stories from “One
Thousand and One Nights.” The Adventures of Prince Achmed was a
critical and popular success when it
was released. U Kyi Soe Tun, Myanmar filmmaker, director of Laurel
Art Academy, coordinated and suU Kyi Soe Tun
pervised the live musical accompaniment by musicians with traditional Myanmar instruments as he already did for
several live accompaniments such as for the screening of Myanmar Classics My Darling
in October 2014. U Kyi Soe Tun joined Laurel Art Academy as president in January 2012
when the school was founded by Daw Thidar Linn. He is also a respected director over 30

Metropolis, the monumental film by Fritz Lang (1890 – 1976), was filmed in the Berlin
of the Golden Twenties where it premiered in 1927, and is today considered one of the
masterpieces of early German cinema. It tells the story of a dystopian megalopolis
inhabited by two sharply segregated groups: the upper management class luxuriates
wonderful gardens and palaces, basks in the sunlight and frolics all day long; the
labourers slave around the clock, somewhere far below underground, in order ensure
the smooth functioning of the city above. Metropolis was and is a film of superlatives in every respect. It can be seen as the first feature length science fiction film in
the history of cinema. With a runtime of two and a half
hours, it was the longest and by far the most expensive
film production of its time. …one of the great achievements of the silent era, a work so audacious in its vision
and so angry in its message that it is, if anything, more
powerful today than when it was made.The Goethe-Institut is proud to contribute the newly restored and
completed version of Metropolis to the MEMORY! Film
Festival 2015 in Yangon. The silent movie classic will be
presented as a film concert, with live accompaniment
