Kokborok cinema: a history
Kokborok is the language of the tribal people of Tripura, India.
Writing in 2002 Zia Haq Telegraph had called Mathia ‘Tripura’s first film in Kokborok.’ However, elsewhere it has been referred to as ‘the 3rd feature film ever in Kokborok.’ Which were the first two? In the absence of the specific names of Kokborok films made before Mathia, Indpaedia will accept Mathia as the first feature film in Kokborok.
Reconstructing the history of Kokborok cinema is going to be impossible unless the Kokborok people--especially those who have made films in Kokborok--pool in efforts and knowledge. There is no written material available on the Web--except for the two masterpieces, Mathia and Yarwng, about which copious amounts are available, and in the greatest detail.
Indpaedia has assembled whatever material is available on the Web. The rest is up to the Kokborok people to contribute by sending us materials on our Facebook page mentioned above.
