Northeast should have special funds for filmmaking: Manipuri director
Morung Express | Natalia Ningthoujam | New Delhi, Nov 14 (IANS)
Manipuri movie maestro Aribam Syam Sharma, for whom a special retrospective will be held at the 46th IFFI, is glad that films from northeast India are finding increased presence at film galas in the country. He however says filmmakers from the region need financial support from the government to make more movies.
Sharma hopes the government will do more than just getting films from the eight states — Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim — screened at fests. “We need financial help. The National Film Development Corporation of India (the central agency established to encourage the good cinema movement in India) should have special funds for production of northeast films. We don’t just want our films to be screened. To make good films, we must have money too,” he told IANS on phone from Imphal.
