Mi (Burmese: မီ) is a 2018 Burmese drama film, written and directed by Na Gyi.[1] Paing Phyo Thu portrayed as the lead character "Mi",[2] along with Nay Toe as Thaw Swe.[3] The film is an adaptation of the novel "Mi" by prominent and well-respected novelist, Kyi Aye.[4] Mi was produced by Victoria Film Production and premiered in Myanmar on November 9, 2018.[5] Despite the high expectations, the film was well received by the audience.[6] There were harsh public criticisms at Myanmar Academy Awards (2018) for leaving Mi with no award.[7]

Mi received 2 nominations (Best Actress, Best Film) and 1 award (Best Director of Photography) at ASEAN international Film Festival and Awards (2019). Mi was also officially selected for Cardiff International Film Festival (2020) and Festival International de Cinema de Lleida Visual Art (2020).[8][9]
