Nepalis during Indian’s economic blockade in the winter of 2015; ‘Hospital’ gives an intimate behind the scenes into a state-run hospital in Kalikot and ‘In Search of Devaki’ exposes the exploitative and damaging part of the Deuki system.

The international line-up explores universal themes of love, the search for the sacred in a changing landscapes, coming of age and climate change.

The film festival is scheduled till December 12 and will be screened at QFX Kumari Hall and Russian Culture Center, Kamalpokhari simultaneously.
