Although filmmaking in the Chittagong Hill Tracts began in the 1990s, the region continues to produce a limited number of films. Due to the lack of regular screening platforms, these works often remain unfamiliar to both the local hill communities and the mainstream audience. The festival aims to bridge this gap, providing a stage for Indigenous films and introducing them to wider audiences.
