In a significant achievement for Northeast Indian cinema, filmmaker Prabal Khaund’s latest documentary, “The Last Generation,” has been officially selected for screening at the prestigious International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala (IDSFFK). The film sheds light on an endangered tribe in Arunachal Pradesh and marks another milestone in Khaund’s illustrious career.

“The Last Generation” is a collaborative effort, bringing together some of the region’s finest talents. Produced by Gopal Jalan and Dhruba Kakati, the documentary features cinematography by Chida Bora and editing by Ghanashyam Deka. Two notable artists crafted the film’s auditory landscape: Rajib Kashyap, who composed the background score, and National Film Award winner Debajit Gayan, who was responsible for sound design.

 

Khaund, who also serves as the Vice President of Chalachitram, a prominent film society in Assam, has consistently pushed the boundaries of documentary filmmaking. His selection for IDSFFK not only brings attention to the endangered tribe featured in the film but also highlights the growing recognition of Northeast Indian cinema on the international stage.
