A premier International Film Festival in Kathmandu Nepal. Nepal Human Rights International Film Festival is running since 2010. This year the 9th Nepal Human Rights International Film Festival will be organized virtually from 22nd to 25th November 2020.
The Ninth Nepal Human Rights International Film Festival (NHRIFF) will be held virtually from November 22-25, 2021. Over 30 selected films from around the globe made on human rights issues will be screened during the festival. Some screenings will be followed by a discussion on the film with the filmmakers.
The films will be screened under the following sections:
- Competition section
This year only Nepali films produced during 2020-2021 be eligible to participate in this section. The Festival will not have a competition section for international films. The films need to be based on at least one aspect of human rights. They could be both fiction and documentaries. The films need to fulfill all the criteria set by the organizing committee.
- Special Screening
Special films that could not fulfill all the criteria of the competitive section but are important in raising the human rights issues will be screened in this section. This section will also cover such films, which may not want to compete under the other section. Films from partners of the NHRIFF, which are qualified for being selected for the festival but could not participate in the competitive section due to the conflict of interest, will also be screened under this section.
- Yesteryears Eyes
Classics from the yesteryears, which deal with human rights issues, will be screened under this section.
