The Lost Indigenous Knowledge of Idu Mishmi (Lisha Umpo / India / 7 mins / Hindi, Idu Mishmi / 2025) Trailer

As shamans age, who holds Arunachal’s healing traditions?


In the forests of Arunachal’s Dibang Valley, medicinal plants, stories, and healing form a living web of knowledge. As the filmmaker meets the elder shamans who carry this knowledge, the film asks what happens to this heritage as it’s keepers pass.

At ALT EFF 2026, we are meeting the times.
When the world feels like it is coming apart, we look to art as witness, joy as resistance, and cinema as a way home to each other.

This film is one of many stories we are bringing together this year at the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival, December 3 to 13, 2026.

Catch in-person screenings at our flagship events:
• Mumbai: December 4 to 6, Nehru Science Centre
