The dignitaries, led by the Chief Secretary, also visited the photo exhibition organised as part of the festival.

Chief Secretary Rajeev Singh Thakur said that the National Tribal Film Festival would play a key role in promoting the culture and traditions of Manipur's tribal communities.

Director of Tribal Affairs and Hills R Rang Peter said that around 28 feature films, documentaries and short films from tribal regions, including Ladakh and Jharkhand, would be screened during the festival.

He added that the four-day event would also feature an interaction programme with filmmakers, panel discussions, cultural performances and a photography exhibition, among other activities.

Peter also said that a pre-festival filmmaking workshop was held from November 10, which was attended by around 20 youths from six hill districts of Manipur.

Assurance Raikhan, on the other hand, said that the festival focused more on short films and documentaries.

Stating that many filmmakers produce feature films on tribal communities, he expressed hope that the organisers would give equal emphasis to feature films in the coming editions of the festival.
