KIMFF 2013 opens
Kathmandu
International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF) 2013 opened with the world premiere
of Sahara Sharma’s ‘Indreni Khojdai Jada’ (Chasing Rainbows). The independent
feature film portrays the trials and tribulations of three siblings, urban
migrants in Kathmandu, in pursuit of their dreams. Films by a slew of young
Nepali directors will feature as special attractions at the 11th edition of
Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF), from 11 - 15 December
2013.
On
the first day of KIMFF, WWF Nepal announced the winners of the short film
competition "We Are all Connected" on the occasion of International
Mountain Day. The competition gave students and independent filmmakers the
space to articulate their relationship with the environment and the natural
world. Surendra Prajapati won first prize for "Now", Team Aayush won
second prize for "Urja" and Nimesh Shrestha won 3rd prize
for "Choice".
A
special selection of films highlighting various aspects of poverty and
development were screened including "Solar Mamas", "Poop on
Poverty", "Colours in the Dust", "Town and Country". KIMFF
2013 features 47 films from 20 countries, interactive discussions, and
exhibitions. US Climber and mountaineer David Breashears opened the festival.
