Why this matters

The independent film industry, especially those producing regional or non-English language content, frequently struggles for global recognition and financial viability. Lakshmipriya Devi's unexpected BAFTA win for her Manipuri-language film 'Boong' marks a significant moment of international acclaim for such a production. This event prompts a crucial discussion on whether such high-profile awards can genuinely translate into broader opportunities and visibility for other independent and regional cinema.
