Manipuri Film
The Cinema of Manipur is the film industry based in Manipur, India. It includes not only Meitei language movies but all the films made in different languages of the different communities in Manipur. The Manipuri film industry was born when ''Matamgi Manipur'' was released on 9 April 1972. Before this, there were many attempts to make a film in the state, the most significant being ''Mainu Pemcha'' in 1948 which was left incomplete due to various problems. The tradition of documentary film making in Manipur was said to have been pioneered by the late Maharaj Kumar Priya Brata Singh who shot "actuality movies" with his 8 mm camera in 1936. ''Paokhum Ama'', released in 1983, was the first Manipuri colour film (short feature). ''Langlen Thadoi'' (1984) was the first Manipuri full-length colour feature film. ''Lammei'' (2002) was the first Manipuri video film to have a commercial screening at a theatre. As the production of video films gained momentum, the Manipuri film i ...
