Kohima: INTACH Nagaland Chapter held its inaugural FILMIT India Workshop on August 29 at Tulip Hall in Duncan Basti. Experts from INTACH New Delhi and Tuning Fork Films led the one-day training session. This project teaches students to capture their heritage. The program targets children in Classes 6 through 8.
Students from five local institutions took part in the event. Attendees included Charis High Academy, Christian Higher Secondary School, Ram Janaki Higher Secondary School, The Maple Tree School, and Bethesda Higher Secondary School. The workshop focuses on teaching kids how to make one-to-two minute films using mobile phones.
The FILMIT project started in 2007. It is now in its 19th year. Organizers have uploaded more than 7,000 films to their website to date. These videos promote cultural exchange among students across the country and overseas. Participants will now start filming their own projects for the upcoming cycle.
The INTACH Nagaland Chapter thanked the schools for their help and expects great results from the students. Officials stated, "The programme engages students from Classes 6-8 in developing short films of 1-2 minutes on their culture using mobile phones." The finished shorts will debut at the National Interschool Film Festival in February 2027.
