Profile

Lin Htet Aung is a self-taught filmmaker and time-based media artist based in Myanmar. Lin is interested in the concepts of time, duration, history, archiving, and projection. He explores all kinds of mediums, especially videos, photos, paintings, and texts. Lin is always seeking the magic of changing details in his environment through time and composes them as dysfunctional stories in his artworks. In 2020, his experimental short film, “Estate”, won the Silver Screen Award for Best Director in the Southeast Asian Short Film Competition. His short films have been screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, International Short Film Festival Oberhausen, and LINOLEUM Contemporary Animation and Media Art Festival, among others.
