Jyoti Chitrabon Film Studio

It was rare opportunity to visit the film studio on the occasion of Guwahati Asian Film Festival. We enjoyed some award winning movies across two days.This place is built to promote offbeat cinema and create awareness about documentary films. They provide courses also in film making. During the festival we were able to meet prominent film critics and directors of Assam. Along with my wife, I enjoyed few very good Assamese productions viz. Rodor pakhi, Noir kotha,Gos Kota Manuh, Kok Kokok,etc. There were couple of Asian short films we managed to watch.All these films were screened in two of Jyoti Chitraban's prominent auditoriums i.e. Bishnu Rabha and Rudra Barua.

Most unhygienic toilets. Make up rooms are dirty. Woth no lights. The buildings are not weell maintained. It's all dirty.That's not the way how a Art Facility should be maintained, that too from tax payers money. At least they should have the dignity to keep the respect of Jyoti Prasad Agarwal. Jyoti means light , but i guess they want to remove the light. No point in having personal fancy cabins and keeping the other avenues in their worst form. Few years back the world suffered from covid and awareness on hygeine was emphasised. But , these so called protectors want the society to rot. The washrooms are a hub for INFECTION. Please, if you really want the future of Assamese Cinema to evolve and for the betterment of healthy artists and crew members. Please wake up.

Nice film studio. Jyoti chitranbon is nostalgia for every assamese. it is a studio where all best equipments are available... And it's a govt studio...which run by Govt of Assam. Jyoti chitraban's location was in a ideal place and it has it's own proper parking spots. The hall was amazing . But though the hall is small but it still outstanding. Film audition / Film sceen is shoot here.

Nice and peaceful place, first time visit for watching a Adivasi movie premire show of 'Birsah The Hero'...👍

The location was ideal and open with proper parking spots. The hall was amazing thou a tad small but it did the work.
