Nepali films in KIMFF


Since its establishment, the quality of Nepali films that have been screened in the film festivals and other film festivals around the world, have improved greatly. Nepali filmmakers have been inspired by international standards and a vision of taking the films that are made in Nepal to a new level. However, it is difficult to compete with films of international standards right away, due to technical advancement that the international filmmakers enjoy. One of the biggest constraints of Nepali filmmakers is however, budget. Therefore, KIMFF makes it a point to judge Nepali films on a different criteria than the international ones. As a result, there is a completely different section called “Nepali Paranoma” where Nepali films are enrolled and judged. This way, filmmakers who have similar working environments and similar problems compete with each other in developing Nepali films and themselves in the process.
