“Is Christianity Responsible for Our Culture Diminishing?” | Filmmaker Theja Rio

What happens when a culture is caught between its past and an uncertain future?

Writer director Theja Rio speaks to Brut about Angh, his TIFF winning film rooted in Nagaland’s changing cultural landscape. He discusses Christianity, the loss of traditional culture, generational conflict, growing up in Nagaland, and why he wanted to tell a story that does not reduce these tensions to simple answers. He also talks about representing the Northeast on screen, working with non actors, shooting on 16mm film and what comes next.
