[Blade~]

Nepal International Film Festival (NIFF) is Nepal's premier annual film and cultural event. Started in 2018, NIFF was established to celebrate diverse forms of storytelling and narratives from across the world. The event is an initiative conceived out of a desire to conduct exchange in film and culture between Nepal and rest of the world, and to create a conscious, capable and appreciative film culture in the country.

Celebrating film and art

The main gist of NIFF is to appreciate films and talk about it with the audience and the people in the industry. The festival is an attempt to uplift the standards of Nepali films and bring out more diverse stories and technical expertise through exhibitions and intensive discourse. NIFF is also a common ground for aspiring film makers, artists and people from the film industries around the world to come together and celebrate their love for film and cinema art, celebrating the spirit of cinema through screening a curated catalogue of feature length fiction and non-fiction works, and a comprehensive short film program in a competitive environment (i.e. awards). NIFF also organizes a gala and ceremony as to distribute awards and facilitate meetings and exchanges between artists and filmmakers in the industry.

Creating conversation through films

NIFF also features the 'Forum', a collection of discourses and related programs, to promote the exchange of ideas and provide commentary on films, and it has grown to be very popular over the years. At the forum we invite guests from the film, media and entertainment sectors, including a lot of independent actors, where we have conversations on multi-dimensional issues on art, cinema and society.
