A screen grab from the Documentary 'The Living God'
The Living God : Medicine and Ancient Meetei Civilisation is officially selected for Los Angeles Independent Film Festival and Los Angeles CineFest. A short documentary by Prakas Abheibam that brings to international light the advanced nature of ancient Meetei Civilization is officially shortlisted for Best Documentary Short & Best Original Music/Score at Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, a monthly film festival and officially selected at Los Angeles Cine Fest, a monthly online event.
It has also received an encouraging professional review in the recently concluded The Monthly Film Festival, Gaslow, UK.
The Living God is a result of exhaustive research and comprehensive understanding of the ancient Meetei Civilisation. The Monthly Film Festival reviewed this short documentary ... an example of documentary film produced from nothing by resourceless staff who have deep consciousness and appreciation of old values
or rather forgotten human values that call out for their redeeming.
This 30 minute documentary explores the nuances of this civilization and takes us deep into the subject matter, looking beyond conventional knowledge of Meetei culture and civilization known to all.
It is a personal initiative as aptly described in the review It is not the script, the cinematography or the overall cinematographic approach that keeps you watching, for it would be no surprise if this was a film of personal initiative (and neither does it look like these were an end in themselves) but rather the curiosity about unknown things and unsuspected resources of past civilizations
Los Angles Independent Film Festival will be held on June 13, 2015 while Los Angeles Cine Fest is slotted for June 3 to 17, 2015.
