Launched by Kathmandu Metropolitan City, the three-day event will screen 40 films from 14 countries across several strands: the International Panorama, Nepal Panorama Shorts, a program of restored Nepali features and open-air screenings. Filmmakers and artists from around Asia are also due to attend. The city, a UNESCO Creative City of Film, set up the festival to showcase Nepali and international independent cinema and to build cultural ties.
