Festival director Khanjan Kishore Nath said there will be six competitive sections at the festival—International Short Films, International Documentary Films, Rest of India Documentary Films, Northeast Short Films and Northeast Documentary Films.
“This is probably the first time a festival in the region has competition in all the section. The objective behind the festival is to motivate aspiring youngsters of the region to get into the field of visual media. The idea is to create an atmosphere where they can experience quality cinemas and develop networks with filmmakers, actors and other professionals involved in moving making,” Nath said.
