rdf:langString What Happened to the Wolf? is a 2021 Burmese drama film, written and directed by Na Gyi starring Eaindra Kyaw Zin and Paing Phyo Thu. The film was produced by May Sandi Tin Oo, edited by Nyan Wint and background music composed by Myint Than Htun. The filmmakers of What Happened to the Wolf?, face persecution after the 2021 Myanmar coup ďétat due to the participation in anti-coup movements. This earnest work might seem a bit conventional and saccharine to Western viewers used to out-and-proud queer cinema. But it’s quite radical and brave in the context of its setting in Myanmar, where LGBTQ+ people face legal persecution, prison and state-encouraged violence all the time. In addition, there’s a horrifying background story attached. The film was made before the military junta seized control of the country early 2021. The director Na Gyi and Paing Phyo Thu, who plays one of the main roles and is married to Na Gyi in real life, have had to go into hiding since they were accused of using their celebrity to oppose the coup. Meanwhile, little is known about what’s happened to Eaindra Kyaw Zin, the film’s other main actor, who was arrested and imprisoned in February, 2021. What Happened to the Wolf? held its world premiere at Oldenburg International Film Festival 2021 in Oldenburg, Germany. The film was nominated for Best Film and Paing Phyo Thu was nominated for her performance. Eaindra Kyaw Zin won Seymour Cassel Award for Best Performance at Oldenburg International Film Festival for this film.
