Australian documentary editor, Melanie Sandford, will present the films and talk a little about the Art Of Documentary Filmmaking workshops held in Rangoon over the last eight years.
Cost: Those that are strapped for cash can have a free night.
Those of you that are in a tight spot can pay $10.
And you lucky flush ones could put in $20, more if you like.
The money will go directly to providing an education for disadvantaged kids in Rahkine State, Burma. Melanie has a local friend who works there and she says that there’s a need for all help they can get.
