Nagaland is associated with Angh, a Konyak-language film directed by filmmaker Theja Rio, which won the Platform Prize at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2026. The film is set in Nagaland in the early 1960s and explores the lives of a former village chief and his young son amid social and cultural changes. The Platform Prize is TIFF’s top award in its competitive Platform section and carries a cash prize of C$20,000. The award also provides Angh with a pathway toward consideration for the International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards through the newly introduced festival-award qualification route.
