For the first time, the Himalaya Film Festival is coming to New York City. The line-up offers a fascinating selection of 31 films, featuring the mountainous backdrops of Nepal, Bhutan, India and Tibet. Below are a sampling of film titles.
The festival has enjoyed a rapid rise in popularity. The first year for the event was in 2003, in Amsterdam. Since then it has traveled to Tokyo and now the United States.
The founder and organizer of the festival is Glenn Krishna Mitrasing. According to Mitrasing, “The program will be divided into sessions of two or three films, each of which focus on a common theme. The films will be screened at the Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village, at the cultural heart of Manhattan. The Quad is the perfect venue for the first American screenings, as its audience is made up of passionate moviegoers eager to see the best in independent, foreign and documentary films.”
