 International Film Festival on Tribal Life,
Odisha (IFFTLO) Bhubaneshwar Dec.2018
A Note

The Film Festival will showcase the indigenous

films that celebrate the biggest, the brightest,
the boldest of who we are as a people and
culture.

Fabulous!!!

Most non indigenous people do not know truly

about the life and history of the native
peoples. This is not accidental but by design.
It is through the arts that this can change.

Films based on the theme of tribal culture, art,

religion, architecture, Philosophy, traditions,
mythology, history, life-style, food, costumes.
Jewelry, sports and various aspects associated
with them will be showcased in the festival.
Besides, there would be exhibitions on tribal
paintings, photos, sculptures, instruments and
programmes on tribal dance and music. Free
workshops on writing, lyrics writing and
composing film and TV music would be organized.
Television script writer, lyricist and film
composer will conduct these workshops. The
festival aims at providing a common platform to
the filmmakers involved in film making on tribal
art and culture across the globe. There are
almost 15 awards in the film competition.

Scheduled categories for filmmaker from any part
of the world are: International Award (to all
filmmakers), National Award (to all filmmakers
from India), Tribal Film Maker Award (to
filmmakers belonging to any tribal belt), State
Filmmaker Award and Student Award (For students
only).

The three days to a week long State Level Tribal

Film Festival will be graced by celebrity chief
guests from film industry, political
dignitaries, renowned littérateurs, theatre
artists, musicians and dancers, social workers
and so on.

The festival also aims to provide common

platform to tribal film makers, producers,
directors and artists who involve in the film
making on various aspects of customs, traditions
and culture along with the modernized ways of
tribal life.

This kind of festival will definitely push up

smaller communities which provide opportunity to
showcase their hidden talents.

Many young talented artists can take advantage

of the festival and make a strong society by
motivating and educating the people on what
directors and producers want to give the message
to the public through their films.

Even though we have rich culture and folklores
we are yet to explore and preserve, the film
industry should record the rich tribal heritage
and also the tribal film directors and producers
to focus on the tribal folklores so that the
world community will come to know of the rich
heritage of the tribal people.

Such festival can encourage talents in a bigger

way to work in the field of not only films but
also in live performance of art, culture, dance
and songs.

As it has been seen that socio-economic,

tradition and culture are reflected in the films
on such subjects and no doubt film is one of the
most powerful media for mass communication.
“Through this medium we can tell the stories of
the rich culture, tradition, distinctive
characters of tribal life and share the type of
narratives that shifts the perception of how the
world view the tribal people.”

This festival will definitely boost not only

tribal tourism of Odisha but all kind of tourism
of the state including rural, religious, and
ecological.
In a sum up we can say International Film
Festival on Tribal Life, Odisha (IFFTLO) will be
a remarkable event of the state. Amen!

It is an International event that will bring the best
films on tribal lives and the idea is to create an
atmosphere for film makers, social workers, students
and academicians to meet and exchange thoughts.

To some the tribal lives may sound a tiny world but it

covers a history of centuries. The civilization
started from the tribal living and you can call it the
soul of civilization. In that sense the festival
covers a vast range of subjects when we say “Films on
Tribal Life”. The idea is to understand the tribal
life in other parts of the world and to showcase our
state’s tribal life to the world community.

commitment, skill, and integrity. She had worked as a
Director to BJN Group, a popular fine dine restaurant
chain in Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
Her achievements are very impressive, she is an
administrator of a world-class performance and a twist
occurs and this top rank lady turns to a renowned
speaker and author. She has almost all the qualities,
creative talent and desire that were necessary for her
present work i.e. writing. Her writing journey began in
2001 through her articles on legal issues; some of which
have made their place in The Asian Age, The Free
Press Journal, The Economictimes.com and
Indiatimes.com.
When Mamta is not writing, she engages her little
readers at schools, institutions, libraries, etc. through
reading sessions and motivational dialogue.

Mamta is a single mother of a curious, intelligent boy,

and holds strong Indian values. She believes that
through this initiative of writing for children, she will
revive an interest in Indian mythology and present the
rich treasure trove of wisdom that will benefit them
throughout their life.

Her first co-authored book “Warriors of Kurukshetra” –

Mahabharat for children, was published in 2013 and
has made a good mark amongst her readers.

Mamta’s beautiful journey of writing continues with her

second book, “An Eternal Hero – Ram” --- Ramayan

comprehensive, fluidly adapted story of the great
Indian epic Ramayan. This title too got a remarkable
hit on the publication pitch.

On the live performance front she has produced a

Magnum Opus Musical titled “Veerbhad Madho
Singh” A saga of a hero of Uttarakhand. The show still
runs in Mumbai and Dehradun. Apart from this she is
also planning to produce a low budget movie with
