MSFDS will officiate the State Pavilion at the posh Marriott Hotel at Goa to be actively assisted by the State’s IPR Department, Cine Artistes and Technician Association, CATA and Film Forum Manipur.
For smooth logistic support and manning of the State’s pavilion from 20 to 28 Nov 2022, MSFDS is also sponsoring officials for it.
