Films from Northeast India are fairly new areas of research that is gaining quick momentum, especially with films from this region being screened at various National and International Film Festivals and also bagging National and International awards. Nature and the indigenous life of the people from this region are intricately linked and this intimacy with nature is reflected in films. Films from this region can help in understanding the complex man-ecology relationship at a time when most environmental narratives are inclined towards portraying an anthropocentric, ecological apocalyptic vision of the world. This paper examines a culture and ecology that are both endangered and yet unexplored, that is new and yet very old, that is on the threshold of the liminality of body/mind, nature/culture, spirit/life, the same nature of which is reflected in films like Village Rockstars, Rong’kuchak (Echoes), III Smoking Barrels and The Pangti Story (documentary).
