Beragee Bomb
Director
A total laughriot that centers around the day Thoibi decides to not marry Manibabu, a lunactic brat who makes her life a living hell by eloping with her college boyfriend, Mani. Thoibi and Mani's elopement plan goes sideways and causes a chaotic roller coaster when Manibabu comes after them and Mani's two bestfriends stumble upon a scooter with a bomb in it.
Leipaklei
Editor
The film Leipaklei tells the story of Leipaklei, a woman named after a Manipuri flower. Like the flower whose habitat is the hard ground, she is surrounded by hard trials and ironies of fate: separation from the one who loved and is still loved by her, abandonment by her husband, the trials of being a single parent, the violence of the gaze of men who sees her as fair game. Not unlike the flower Leipaklei, which hibernates beneath parched grounds - dreaming for a spring past, the protagonist dreams of the return of her beloved. He returns.
Phijigee Mani
Director
When job, time and situation snatches her only son away from her lap, Sanajaoba's mother longed for her gem to come back. Yaiphabee, Sanajaoba's younger sister, acts as a catalyst to bridge the strained relationship between Sanajaoba and his mother. A slice of the evolving socio-political scenario of Manipur (and the northeast at large) is captured through the lens of Sanajaoba's family.
Keishamthong Thoibi
Director
A muddled tranquility arises in a strict Brahmin family when the elder son Pramesor brings in a girl Thoibi, a Chingmi ningol from Kabui tribe of Keishamthong, Imphal. An adaptation of the Shumang Leela blockbuster of the same name,Oinam Gautam's film is a social commentary which tackles the rigid conventional barrier of religion and community.
