Kimff 2016
8ᵗʰ to 12ᵗʰ December

The 14th edition of Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (Kimff) will be held from Dec. 8-12, 2016, in Kathmandu, the cultural and cosmopolitan capital of the Himalayan region.

Since its birth in 2000, Kimff has evolved from a festival focusing initially on the Himalayas to one encompassing a wide range of subjects and issues that explore the diverse and complex ways in which human beings relate to mountains. 

 Kimff seeks to showcase films that attract peer review and critiques that lead to better documentation of mountain issues. This year Kimff’s focus will be to revitalize Nepal’s tourism industry.

About 60 films will be selected for Kimff 2016. Around 20 documentaries will be viewed by an international jury. Filmmakers can choose whether or not to submit their films for competition.

Accepted films not selected for competition will be screened and be eligible for the audience award. Films made by Nepali filmmakers will participate in ‘Nepali Panoroma’ to promote Nepali films in all genres.

In the presence of filmmakers, film enthusiasts, critics, scholars, journalists, artists, activists and mountaineers, the festival will include discussion forums, on-demand screenings, guest lecture, and exhibition of books, photographs and workshops for aspiring filmmakers.
