Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival

08/12/2022 - 12/12/2022

kimff is an annual film festival organized by a non-profit organization, Himal Association based in Kathmandu. Every year in December, festival brings people together to discover extraordinary experiences through films from around the world.

Our primary focus is to make our society a more intellectual, knowledgeable, conscious of various local, national and international issues through audio visual. In addition to film festival, kimff organizes workshop, seminars, exhibition, and takes the festival on the road to remote places to educate and to bring positive social change.

The 18th edition of the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival was held virtually given the unprecedented and uncertain times due to Covid-19, except few events were held at Film Development Board Nepal maintaining proper social distance along with other essentials.
