Tribal Frames Manipur 2026 from November 12

After Mizoram, it’s Manipur. The northeastern State will host the second edition of the National Tribal Film Festival, titled Tribal Frames Manipur 2026, from November 12 to 15. Nearly 30 films from Northeast India, Ladakh, Jharkhand and other tribal regions of the country will be featured in the four-day festival, being organised by the Department of Tribal Affairs and Hills through the Tribal Research Institute, in collaboration with the Manipur State Film Development Society and with support from the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs. Besides feature films, documentaries and short films, the festival will also feature filmmaker interactions, masterclasses, panel discussions, cultural performances and the Tribal Lens Photography Exhibition. A pre-festival initiative, TFM 20 Emerging Voices, will organise a three-day filmmaking workshop from November 10 to 12 for 20 young participants from Manipur’s six hill districts. The initiative is aimed at developing filmmaking skills among young tribal storytellers and encouraging them to document stories from their communities. Mizoram hosted a three-day tribal film fest from November 4.

For centuries, India’s tribal communities have safeguarded forests, languages, traditions, knowledge systems and ways of life. Yet many of their stories remain unknown, not because they are insignificant, but because few have taken the effort to document them.

The Indian Tribal was founded to change that,  guided by one simple mission—Know The Unknown, Lesser-Known Tribal Life.

For the past four-and-a-half years, we have travelled across India to chronicle stories that rarely find space in mainstream media. We have done this without external funding, driven only by our conviction that India’s tribal heritage deserves to be documented with dignity, depth and authenticity.

If you like our work, and if it has informed, inspired or helped you understand India’s tribal/indigenous communities better, we invite you to become a part of this mission.

Your contribution will not merely fund a news platform. It will help preserve voices, traditions, histories and aspirations that form an invaluable part of India’s identity. Because when an untold story is documented, a piece of India’s heritage is preserved forever.
