All Manipuri feature films, short films and music videos and similar productions in other languages should comply with the code of conduct .
All films and music videos should be first registered with FFM before shooting begins, Mangoljao said .
Informing that FFM comprises of 12 different associations/guilds, he said that all actors, directors, editors and other people working in film industry should register themselves with one of the 12 associations/guilds and their registrations should be renewed periodically.
There would be film and video previews only on Saturdays.
