Manipuri documentary ‘Fireflies’ screened at Kathmandu film fest

Guwahati: Manipuri short documentary Fireflies was recently screened at the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival in Kathmandu, Nepal.

The film articulates the journey of Meira Paibi, a women’s social movement in Manipur, in their struggles to protect the community from atrocities committed by the state. It explores the role of women in the conflict-ridden, male-dominated society of Manipur.

Through powerful testimonies, the film looks into how gender identities are negotiated during times of conflict and violence.
