context_page_description: Joymoti or Joimoti, released on 10 March 1935, was the first Assamese film made. Based on Lakshminath Bezbaroa's play about the 17th-century Ahom princess Soti Joymoti, the film was produced and directed by the noted Assamese poet, author, and film-maker Jyoti Prasad Agarwala, and starred Aideu Handique and acclaimed stage actor and playwright Phani Sarma. The film, shot between 1933 and 1935, was released by Chitralekha Movietone in 1935 and marked the beginning of Assamese cinema.
  Joymoti was screened at the 50th International Conference of the Society For Cinema and Media Studies of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, United States in March 2011.
  Other screenings include:
  India-Bangladesh Joint Celebration of 100 Years of Indian Cinema, Dhaka
  UCLA's Centre for India and South Asia Studies, Los Angeles
  Osian-Cinefan's 10th Film Festival of Asian and Arabic Cinema, New Delhi
  Filmbüro Baden Württemberg's Internationales Indisches Filmfestival, Stuttgart
  Asiaticafilmidale, Rome
  Munich Film Festival.
  Although never a commercial success, Joymoti was noted for its political views and the use of a female protagonist, something almost unheard of in Indian cinema of the time.
