Who We Are?

Nepal Human Rights International Film Festival (NHRIFF) has established as a forum for advocating human rights via films. The voices of the people and the issues of human rights are not sufficiently raised in the film in Nepal.

Film festival is not targeted in the issues of human rights. So, the project, ‘Nepal Human Rights International Film Festival’ will focus on those issues dealt above. Festival will be dedicated to the vulnerable communities who are historically backward in Nepal.

About Film Festival

It’s been a decade long journey. Since 2010, a regular film festival on human rights issues is itself an achievement. We are into 12th edition of the festival. Apart from two schedules in between sacrificed for the devastating earthquake of 2015, we have thrived ourselves towards the motive of defense of human rights in Nepal through cinema.

The agenda of human rights is a global issue endorsed by many countries around the world. Human rights include every aspect of economical, civil and political rights. The violation of human rights is still existent in the different parts of world. Nepal definitely had certain issues.

In Nepalese context, rights of women, Dalits, Madheshi community, indigenous peoples, children, are still the subject of human right assurance, which needs lots of advocacy and struggle. The freedom of speech and the press freedom are the issues none less.
