Biography
Sai Naw Kham (b. 1990) made his first foray into directing in 2014 whilst a beginner student at Yangon Film School with The Crocodile Creek, a short film which merged myth and memory. For his next film, 32 Souls (YFS, 2015), he travelled to his native Shan to portray one woman’s memories in this war-torn part of Myanmar. Following its international premiere at DOK Leipzig in 2016, this film went on to screen to acclaim at festivals including Busan in Korea and at Kathmandu’s Film South Asia Festival in Nepal. Song of Souls is his first feature-length documentary.
