Message from Coordinator
Tripura has no any institute for such a Film & Video Production course besides the huge number of enthusiasts who are crazy to learn Film & Video production. Next to Kolkata & Guwahati; Tripura was the next hub hat awaited for such a Film making course, so was the decision taken. The field of film and entertainment are very much fascinating which attracts all age groups.
People of the state are making ad film, documentaries and regional Films but due to lack of skilled people they could not reach their zenith, hiring people from outside is budget un-friendly. They need formal trained people. Tripura University, B.Voc passed out students shall meet their demands in very near future.
