Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi (Burmese: မင်းထင်ကိုကိုကြီး; born c. 1961) is a Burmese documentary filmmaker, poet, and former political prisoner.[1] He has directed 8 feature-length films and 2 documentaries.[2] His 2010 film, Floating Tomatoes, won best documentary at the 2010 Documentary Film Association of Southeast Asian States.[2] He founded the Human Dignity Film Institute, to train young filmmakers, in 2013.[2] Between 2013 and 2017, he organised the Human Rights Human Dignity film festival in Myanmar.[3]
In early 2019, he posted a series of Facebook posts criticising the Tatmadaw, and questioning the legitimacy of the 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, which was drafted by the military junta.[4][5] In April 2019, he was arrested, despite having undergone surgery for liver cancer recently.[4] On 29 August 2019, he was sentenced to 1 year of hard labour under section 505(a) of Myanmar's Penal Code, and released on 21 February 2020.[4][6][7]
On 1 February 2021, in the wake of the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, he was re-arrested, becoming one the first individuals to be arrested after the coup, alongside other veteran political prisoners like Maung Tha Cho, Than Myint Aung, and Mya Aye.[2] He remained imprisoned at Insein Prison until his release in November 2022.[8]
