Postcard Story : 50th Anniversary Celebration of Myanmar Motion Pictures

Myanmar Motion Picture Industry has its centenary celebration in 2020.  The first ever Burmese film was "Love and Liqueur" | "မေတ္တာနှင့်သူရာ" and was on-screen on 13 October 1920 at the Royal Cinema [1].  The exact centenary is approaching soon at the time of writing.  The first Burmese director is London Art U Ohn Maung and the story is by P Moe Nin.  It is the silent film starring U Nyi Pu.  U Ohn Maung is Burma's pioneer filmmaker, and had founded the Burma Film Company.  The film was a great success despite the quality due to a fixed camera position and inadequate film accessories.
