Welcome to the Myanmar Film Festival of Los Angeles (MFFLA)

About MFFLA:

In 2008, the Network of Myanmar-American Association, with local community support and dedicated volunteer staff, launched the Myanmar Film Festival of Los Angeles. For the past thirteen years, the Film Festival has brought diverse styles of Myanmar cinema to the Myanmar-American community and other American audiences and is one of the largest events that the non-profit organization produces. The festival brings greater awareness and appreciation for Myanmar (Burmese) culture, not only to the Myanmar-American community but to the greater Los Angeles community in general.

In addition to full-length films, in 2010 the Myanmar Film Festival expanded its screenings to include shorts and documentaries. Since its inception, the festival has grown to become an important community event and has expanded its reach and extended its programming every year since. Currently, MFFLA is continuously funded by grants from the California Arts Council (2016-2020), Los Angeles County Arts Commission (2011 – 2021), and the Cultural Grants Program from the City of Los Angeles. (2016 – 2021).
