The Embassy of Israel in collaboration with Nepal Film Society (NFS) is jointly organizing the 10th Israeli Film Festival from 23-24 June 2016 at the Russian Culture Center, Kathmandu.
A special screening of the movie “Fill the Void” was screened amidst the inaugural on 22 June 2016. The honourable Mr. Ananda Prasad Pokharel, Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation had inaugurated the film festival.
Altogether six Israeli films are scheduled to be shown during the festival. All the films selected are winners of the Israeli Film Academy as well as highly prestigious International Film Awards.

Two of the films, ‘Gorkha’s Daughters in Israel’ and ‘Foreign Sister’, are based on the lives of foreign work migrants in Israel. The entrance for the films is made free and anyone interested in Israeli films and culture is welcome to come and enjoy the films.
