Just heard that my film Smiles from off the Road has been selected to be screened at the Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival 2009 (Nepal). The festival will be held from 10-14 December 2009.
Their Press Release reads: “The festival will screen some of the most recent and exciting films about mountains, mountain environment, mountain cultures and communities from various corners of the world. KIMFF is dedicated to exploring the diverse and complex ways in which human beings relate to mountains; the festival seeks to foster a better understanding of human experiences as well as of the social and cultural realities in the highlands of the world.”
Well, that’s exactly what I wanted to show with my film - but I hope that also my awe at the villagers’ innocence and humour will come through.
