According to the organisers, the festival features a wide range of films from all continents. Four Nepali films have been included in this year’s programme, highlighting local storytelling alongside international works and placing Nepali queer narratives within a global cinematic context.
Kshitiz Adhiraj, co-director of the Festival, says, “The objective of the festival is to promote Nepali films and filmmakers. It is also about providing a platform for filmmakers to showcase their work, connect with other filmmakers, and explore further opportunities.”
Adhiraj added that the films featured in the festival are rooted in lived queer experiences, reflecting personal stories and broader social realities.
Through these narratives, the festival seeks to encourage conversation around issues of sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics.
