Rewind Manipur Film Festival: Experience Manipur’s Cinema Classics in 4K
Some films are more than entertainment — they are pieces of our cultural memory.
Rewind Manipur Film Festival is bringing six rare Manipuri cinema classics back to the big screen in 4K digitised format, from 9–11 October 2026 at the Manipur University Auditorium, Canchipur.
The festival is jointly organised by the Department of Mass Communication & Media Archive and Research Centre, Manipur University, in association with NFDC, National Film Archive of India (NFAI), and MSFDS.
Mateng is proud to be the Media Partner for the festival, supporting an event that brings audiences together around some of the memorable films and personalities of Manipuri cinema.
Three Days. Six Films. A Lot to Rewind.

🎬 Olangthagee Wangmadasoo — 1:00 PM
