unsettling testimonials,<br />
sketching a portrait of an<br />

and the state authorities.<br />

On The Inside of a Military<br />
Dictatorship CFF 15<br />
Denmark, <strong>2019</strong>, 97 Mins.<br />
English/Burmese with English subtitles.<br />
DIRECTOR Karen Stokkendal Poulsen<br />
The world rejoiced when the brutal military<br />
dictatorship in Myanmar was dissolved after 50<br />
years and power passed to Pro-democracy leader<br />
and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Aung San Suu Kyi<br />
to form a civilian government. But celebrations<br />
were short-lived when she defended the ethnic<br />
cleansing of the Rohingya and isolated<br />
herself from the public. Karen Stokkendal<br />
Poulsen’s absorbing documentary provides a<br />
fascinating study into political compromises,<br />
featuring interviews with military generals,<br />
journalists and Aung San Suu Kyi herself.<br />

Zero Impunity CFF 15<br />
Luxembourg/France, <strong>2019</strong>, 93 Mins.<br />
English/Syrian/Ukrainian/French with<br />
English subtitles.<br />
DIRECTORS Nicolas Blies & Stéphane Hueber-Blies<br />
Rape and sexual assault have been present<br />
in many conflicts across the globe, constantly<br />
being ignored by the powers-that-be and often<br />
going unpunished. This animated documentary<br />
is a call to action, demanding zero tolerance<br />
for sexual violence in warzones. We hear from<br />
inspiring victims, social workers and activists<br />
worldwide, who have the courage to engage, resist<br />
and mobilize. Their stories confront us with the<br />
horrendous mechanics of international institutions<br />
and age-old war and interrogation practices.<br />
