Industry held its meeting 1/2002 at the Strand Hotel on Merchant
Street here at 1 p.m. today, with an address by Chairman of the

Committee the Vice-Mayor, members of the committee, officials of the
State Peace and Development Council Office, departmental heads, officials of
the subcommittees for Development of Tourism Industry, and managing

the management committee and the subcommittees for Development of
Tourism Industry have been formed for many years; there are a lot of tourist
attractions in Myanmar from easternmost part to westernmost part and
from southernmost part to northernmost part; for examples beautiful
and interesting mountains capped with ice in the cold season, rare
wildlife and butterflies in northernmost part of Myanmar, and
different kinds of mode of dress, lifestyles and traditions of
national races in Kachin State of the northernmost part are the tourist
attractions. Inlay and Mongla regions, Mandalay Palace, Mandalay Hill,
ancient monasteries, ancient culture region of Bagan, Popa flat-
topped hill, ancient cities in Taungdwingyi region, Hanthawady Palace of
Bago, and Moyungyi Lake, the rendezvous of various kinds of birds in
Shan State, Mandalay Division, Magway Division, Sagaing Division and
Bago Division are tourist destinations. Myeik archipelago, the natural
beauty in Taninthayi Division, is popular among tourist attractions in the
southernmost part of Myanmar, and seaside resorts and beaches in
Myanmar are famous for very clean and beautiful spots. Although most
sites all over Myanmar can attract tourists, implementation of tasks for
tourism development is weak.
A close study of the neighbouring countries shows that arrival of
tourists is increasing year after year. In spite of abundance in
favourable conditions in Myanmar, tourism industry has not developed yet.
Ways are to be found for tourism industry development. All-round
efforts are to be made for attracting tourists. In this regards,
efforts are to be made in collaboration with companies which are engaged
in tourism business.
Advice is to be obtained from the companies and firms. Requirements of
companies are to be fulfilled. As tourism industry is a lucrative one,
tourism development tasks are to be carried out with emphasis. Then,
Minister for Hotel and Tourism Maj-Gen. Saw Lwin reported on tourist
arrivals through Yangon and border entry points in 2001, foreign
exchange income, investment made in tourism sector, collaborative tasks with
ASEAN countries in the tourism sector and plans made for tourism
development.
Afterwards, chairmen of sub-committees for promoting standard of hotels,
motels and inns,
transportation, information, security of tourists, city
development, ancient culture, eco-tourism, easy entry and departure of
tourists, production and distribution of souvenirs and development of
Mandalay region reported on work done for tourism development. Later,
those present and officials of tour operators explained measures
undertaken for tourism development and requirements to be fulfilled.
Next, the Secretary-1 fulfilled the needs. He then said, the discussions
would give a lot of support for tourism development. As the department
that takes main responsibility for tourism development is the Ministry
of Hotels and Tourism, practical solutions, collaborative efforts and plans
for easy performance of tasks are to be made for successful
implementation of work. In conclusion, he urged tour operators to make
concerted efforts for tourism development for their own benefit and for the
interest of the State and the people. Then, the meeting came to a
close.

Myanmar Writers and Journalists Association, Myanmar Motion
Picture Asiayon, Myanmar Thabin Asiayon and Myanmar Music
Asiayon, personnel of non-governmental organizations, artistes and
those present.
Film-lovers spend ample time and much money watching films. This
indicates how much they cherish
the artistes. Therefore, all
should adopt the attitude that the more the artistes win the love and
encouragement of the people, the greater the debt of gratitude they owe
to the people.
It is for 49 years including Year 2000 that film industry has been
encouraged and promoted. The history of Myanmar film industry shows
that there have been 235 films which won various kinds of academy
awards since 1952. In the course of the silver, golden and diamond
jubilees of the film industry, the State presented not only golden
statues but also Alinka Kyawswa and Wunna Kyawhtin titles. There are
11 Alinka Kyawswa title recipients and 10 Wunna Kyawhtin title recipients.
Alinka Kyawswa title recipients are Shwe Pyi Aye, Saung (Harp) U Ba
Than, Daw Saw Mya Aye Kyi, Myoma Nyein, Shwemann, Tin Maung, Saing
(Myanmar orchestra) U Ba Maung, Saya Sein Wai Hlyan, Saung (Harp) Saya
Nyein, U Han Pa, A-1 U Tin Maung and Sayagyi U Thu Kha.
Wunna Kyawhtin title recipients are U Sein Aung Min, U Sein Mya Maung, U
Yan Naing Soe, U Pho Pa Gyi, U Kennet Sein, U Aung Maung, Daw May
Shin, Daw May Thit, Daw Kyi Kyi Htay and Daw Aung Kyi. Among them,
Alinka Kyawswa Sayagyi Dr U Thu Kha, Wunna Kyawhtin Daw May Shin,
Wunna Kyawhtin U Sein Aung Min and Wunna Kyaw Htin U Sein Mya Maung are
still alive. In 1952 and 1953 when the presentation of academy awards
began, the golden Keinnayi statue, the silvery peacock statue and the
bronze lion statue were presented to the first, second and third
prize-winning films respectively. The golden brooches were presented to the
best actor award and the best actress award. In 1954, the best
director award was presented, and in 1955, the best film award was given as
well. In 1956, the best film photo award was presented, and the golden
Keinnayi statue was given. In 1991, K 20,000 as well as the golden
Keinnayi statue was presented. As of 1993, the silver star fitted at
the golden Keinnayi statue has been replaced with the golden star. Now
ten awards are presented. Moreover, a social organization presented an
award to Myanma doyen artistes. It was Thurathati statue, which was
presented to writer-cum-director Sayagyi U Thu Kha and writer and
actor academy Maung Thin for the film " Chit-thway-thit-sar" in 1958. That
film, an educative film, was created by Shwewe Thiri Film and Director
Sayagyi U Thu Kha on the basis of the novel of writer-cum-doctor Maung
Thin entitled " Yay-tein-nit-chin." As the film had a novel aim and
its presentation was excellent, it could touch the heart of the
people. That film also honoured the act of donating blood.
Like films featuring love, romantic and marriage affairs, the educative
films which serve the interests of the people can give aesthetic taste
and win awards. The film" Be-thu-pyaing-loh-hla-ba-dot-naing"
which won the best film award, the best actor award and the best
director award in 1973 proved that fact. The duty of Myanma film
artistes is to preserve national culture and character and Myanma styles,
to contribute to the flourishing of patriotism and Union Spirit and to
broaden the horizons of the people. All who are working in the film
world of today are to be proud of the fact that Myanma film industry
contributed to the independence struggle of Myanmar.
The duty resting on the shoulders of the new generation is to strive to
win best awards and to be worthy of being awarded in the future of the
film industry which has good traditions. In the course of the Myanma
film industry, the new generation has to take the place of doyen artistes,
and will have to discharge the duty assigned by history. The film
industry is a cultural field where outstanding artistes can
emerge. Every race in every nation has their own cultures. And Myanmar
people have their own national culture and character.
There are two fundamental elements in Myanma culture which has been
preserved so far. They are Hiri and Ottappa, a sense of shame and a
sense of fear. These two elements derived from the teachings of the
Buddha. According to the teachings of the Buddha and tutelage of parents and
teachers, the polite and profound social code of conducts, the mode of
dress, demeanour, language, literature and culture, theatrical show,
music, film and traditional arts and crafts have been flourishing.
Ancient Myanmar people bequeathed a garden of arts comprising literary,
musical, theatrical and film
fields where performing arts are
flourishing. It is necessary for contemporary artistes to preserve the
heritage " without letting the stem be covered with leaves." All are to
be aware of a culture-destroying disease. All are to be cognizant of
the following facts with a national outlook: deterioration of
theatrical show and mode of dress leads to that of culture,
deterioration of rhyme and rhythm leads to that of music, and
deterioration of writing styles and orthography leads to that of grammar.
The more attractive an artiste becomes, the greater the size of his
or her audience. Therefore, the artistes' mode of dress and way of
speaking are rapidly infectious to the audience, and so all are to be
aware of that fact. In producing films, words, styles and mode of dress need
to be in consonance with Myanma culture and traditions.
At a time when mass communication systems are spreading fast, the title
of a film and the names of
characters are to be chosen carefully so that
they cannot be open to misinterpretation. Words to be used in the film
need to be in consonance with Myanmar tradition and society. Only then will
they be accepted in Myanmar society.
The relations between man and wife, brother and sister, son and mother,
teacher and pupil are very
polite in Myanmar society. If the alien
styles are aped, it amounts to neglecting the national culture.
Therefore, all in the cultural field encompassing the film industry need
to value and preserve such
Myanma own culture and national character as
literature, music, civic duty, the code of conduct and
mentality.
He said there are altogether 201 cinemas and over 32,000 video parlours
and there about 400 million movie-goers and annually. A large number of
audience must be taken into consideration. After their work to earen
their living, millions of movie-goers and viewers enjoy films and videos and
take lessons from them. It was the advantages of watching films that
the film lovers gained. The film artistes came to realize that these
advantages were the film artistes deservedly response to the film lover, he
added. He said he would like to present the situation of Myanma film
industry in brief. There are registered 201 cinemas and 32,283 video
parlours in Myanma Motion Picture Enterprise.
Altogether 136 cinemas and all video parlours are private-owned and they
belong to organizations.
Altogether 58 cinemas were hired to private
entrepreneurs in long-term and short-term periods. There are seven
cinemas under MMPE. The cinemas and all video parlours stand Yangon,
Mandalay and other cities and townships in states and divisions
throughout the country. They entertain a large number people.
Therefore cinemas, video parlours and film lovers are basic forces on which
film artistes including producers and directors rely. The film lovers
are benefactors of producers, directors, performers and cinema owners.
The government allowed permission to them economically in accord with the
policy practised. The
minister urged them to abide by the laws and rules
and to act according to Myanma culture.
Out of the Myanma films produced, he said, there were a few films such as
" Bo Aung Din", " Ba-wa- than-tha-ya" and "Yadanbon" were famous in
film history and films such as Hsu-htoo-pan, Phyu, Mya- ga-naing,
We-ba-gi, Ja-pant-yin-thway, Myaing-yan-bwe, Thuriya-konma-Ma-hay-thi
were screened on royalty system in abroad, films such as Thu-chit,
Nga-ba, Chin-pan-tha-zin, Ba-wa-than-tha-ya were sold and Akyaw-amaw,
the-hsaung-hay-man, Yadanabon, Doe, Son-yay, Dandayi, Thagyanmoe and
Bagan-hmar-tha-deh-la participated in international film festivals.
Myanma Radio and Television present some episodes of Myanmar films in
English in the programmes telecast to world three times a week
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday for introduction of Myanmar film. He
said altogether 19 films were scrutinized in 1999 and 12 in 2000 and
film audience increased in number after opening of high standard
cinemas. Fifteen films were screened in 1998 and 19 in 1999.
Films that were scrutinized for outstanding awards are,
Hna-yauk-ta-ein-mat, Achit-go-sar-thaw-kein-ga-nan-myar,
na-kham-het-ka-da-thwar, Nga-yell-thar,
Machit-tat-thaw-mein-ma Achit ngut-thaw yauk-kya, Achit-thint-thu,
Athee-go-lay-lan-pyit-meh, Maw-ha-myin-pyaing,
Ma-mone-lay-ne-nga-pa-li, Maunk-mu-paing-shin,
Kyi-pya-yaung-ne-ga-tive-myar and Tha-mee-shin. Outstanding awards for the
2000 will be chosen objectively and fairly from above-mentioned films.
The silver jubilee of Myanma film with Myanma culture and arts was held
in 1945 and the golden jubilee in 1970 and the diamond jubilee in
1995. Families of film are responsible to march to centennial
celebration, he added. He urged film artistes to make efforts for
relization of the objectives laid down unanimously at a ceremony to hold the
silver jubilee of Myanma film.
The objectives are: To preserve and safeguard national culture through
film, to contribute toward the
dynamism of patriotism among the people,
to organize the people to participate in building of a peaceful,
modern developed nation, to make efforts for promotion of Myanma motion
pictures, to hand down cinematography based in Myanma culture to new
generation artistes and to strive for solidarity among the Myanma film
artistes. The outstanding awards are going to be announced in a moment.
The objectives of presentation of outstanding movie awards are to
acknowledge the outstanding
performance of artistes, to try to make
efforts for the rest artistes after emulating the outstanding movie
awards and to promote the standard of Myanma motion picture through their
performance.
In conclusion, the minister called for marching to centennial celebration
of Myanma motion picture with unity. Then, award winners of
Myanmar Motion Pictures for 2000 were announced. The Best
Cameraman
Award went to Than Nyunt (Pantha) for his performance for the film "
