Film is one of the most important mediums through which a story can be told, said Additional Chief Secretary and Finance Commissioner, Temjen Toy at the launch of the Glocal Hornbill International Film Festival, 2017 at The Heritage, Kohima on December 5. Temjen Toy maintained Nagaland is in a nascent stage where filmmaking is concerned, but so many of the filmmakers from the State have received awards which speak of our potentials.
