Theatre, Film & Performance Archive
The first Assamese software of its kind
An archive for the creative history of a theatre group, a film company, a festival or an artist. Keep productions and the people who made them, scripts, posters, photographs, recordings, oral histories, a timeline and research notes, safely on your own device.
The web app opens in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox. Install it from its start page and it works without internet. The offline file (2.0 MB) is for computers.
Launch: Sunday 25 October 2026, 5:30 PM, at the inaugural ceremony of BBITF 2026
Sri Sri Madhavadeva International Auditorium, Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra, Guwahati
What it does
- Productions, people, groups and festivals
- Credits that link people to their work
- Scripts, posters, photographs, audio and video
- Oral histories with consent and transcript
- Timeline and research notebook
- Whole folders and Excel lists brought in at once
- Search inside Word, PDF and text files
- Full backups checked with SHA-256
Works with the other AANK apps
KUMSUNG keeps the work of every AANK app. Upload here what XUDHAKANTHA, SILPA KUTIR, XUNPAKHILI, BURHA LUIT, AAROHAN or SRINIBARAN send, and the production, cast, report and original file come in. Send a production back to XUDHAKANTHA, the mother app, or to any studio.
In another app choose Send to… and pick KUMSUNG; in KUMSUNG choose Bring in › Upload work from any app on aank.org. On aank.org the work waits in Bring in material; elsewhere it travels as an .aank file.
Guides and downloads
Read the Installation Guide first: it shows how to open, install and keep your work safe on a computer, a phone or a tablet.
Devices
Works in Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox, on computers, tablets and phones, with or without internet. Phones are good for looking through the archive; for bringing in many files and making backups, use a laptop or desktop with Chrome or Edge.
Your work stays on your device
Everything you keep is stored on your own device. Nothing is sent to the internet and no account is needed. Save a full backup (.kumsung) now and then and keep it in two places.
Scan with your phone camera to open the web app.

KUMSUNG is free and will stay free. A paid Pro version with a few more advanced features is planned for later.
