"Last December, officials from the Cannes Film Festival's "L'Atliear" programme, said they wanted to give two tickets as a New Year present. They said that our film "The Women" was chosen at the "L'Atliear". It was really a very wonderful new year present. According to their rule, they requested us to be silent about the news. They said they will announce it on March. Then we can announce publicly. That's why we had silenced about the news. They said they like the first film, "the Monk" and the second project "the women",' said Director The Maw Naing.
