Film South Asia is a competitive biennial festival of South Asian non-fiction films highlighting various issues that concern the region—be it social, political, economic, cultural, or lifestyle related. The festival provides a platform for exhibiting new works and promoting a sense of community among filmmakers. Started in 1997, FSA is the only event solely dedicated to showcasing contemporary South Asian non-fiction films.

HIMAL BOOKS

Himal Association is a Kathmandu Valley-based not-for-profit organisation established with the objective of informing the Nepali people of various issues, local, national and international, to help them become aware and responsible national and global citizens.

Since its establishment in 1987, the Association has been working consistently in the fields of journalism, communications, publishing, education and training.

KATHMANDU INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN FILM FESTIVAL (KIMFF)

KIMFF is a competitive festival that provides filmmakers with an excellent platform to share new works. About 50 films will be selected for the festival. Although there are no thematic restrictions, the festival will highlight two themes in film selection this year. In the domestic arena, given the post-conflict, reconstruction-minded context of Nepal, the organizers will include films that capture this country’s social transition. In the global arena, the organizers will include films that tackle the environmental and ecological challenges our planet faces because of global warming.
