Battlefield, an 80-minute anti-war documentary by Borun Thokchom, is set to screen at the Mumbai International Film Festival (MIFF) on June 20.
The film explores how the historic Imphal and Kohima battles of World War II still shape Manipur today, connecting those events to later changes in the state and ongoing local movements.
MIFF is a major South Asian festival for documentaries and shorts, running until June 21.
'Story of a Forest' competes internationally
Alongside Battlefield, another Manipuri film, Story of a Forest by Trishul Yumnam and Yaso Sharma, is also in the spotlight at MIFF.
This animated short is competing internationally, highlighting Manipur's strong tradition of storytelling through cinema.
