With the participation of more than 70 films from 31 countries, the 16th edition of Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF), kicked off in Nepal last week on Friday (Dec 7). The Festival has attracted many visitors giving a boost to Nepal’s tourism sector.

 

With support from Kathmandu Metropolitan City, a partner of this annual festival, Himal Association organises the grand occasion, aiming to promote young talent in and outside the country.

 

This year, the festival is being held under the theme: “Women Move Mountains,” exploring the role of women in society and encouraging women in film-making. The film fiesta was jointly inaugurated by five influential women from different professions at City Hall, amid the presence of over 400 audiences.

 

The five-day festival showcases documentaries, fictions, experimental films and animations on various issues, covering adventure; mountaineering; culture; ancient lifestyles; social, environmental and conservation issues that affect highland communities worldwide.

 

Addressing the inaugural ceremony, KIMFF Chairman, Basanta Thapa, said, the festival, through its line-up of films and events, will entertain audiences and engage them in conversations around issues that affect the Nepali public, with a special spotlight on women.
