KATHMANDU: The 21st edition of the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF) has begun at Sabha Griha (City Hall) and Nepal Tourism Board. The festival will run through June 2.

During the event today, U.S. Embassy’s spokesperson Zehra Naqvi delivered opening remarks for the “Women behind the camera: Film Screening and Panel Discussion,” recognizing the importance of the women storytellers and stories told from diverse perspectives.

She said, “When women see themselves on screen, it validates their experiences and inspires future generations. And representation matters—not just in front of the camera, but behind it as well.”

“Having female directors, writers, and producers results in female-driven narratives and ensures that women from all backgrounds and walks of life are portrayed authentically and respectfully, with all of our layers of complexity. We need more of these unique perspectives,” she added.

The event featured three short films by Nepali women directors: Chiso Ghar (A Bleak Home) by Bidushi Giri, Threshold by Sarita Sah, and Sanai by Akanchha Karki, followed by a discussion where they shared insights, experiences, challenges, and successes working in various roles behind the camera, moderated by filmmaker and activist Pooja Pant.
