If you're wondering where to go after the international theatre festival concludes next week, don't worry. The 8th Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival 2010 (KIMFF'10) kicks off 9 December.

2010 is being celebrated as the International Year for Rapprochement of Cultures and the International Year of Biodiversity, so most of the 62 films from 35 countries selected for the festival reflect these causes. Twenty films will be screened in the International Competition category, 36 in the International non-competitive category, and 6 in the Nepali Panorama category.

This year, the festival has partnered with Quixote's Cove to conduct a writing workshop with Terry Gifford. A filmmaking workshop by Docskool is also a part of the festival along with an animation workshop by Danish animators Anja Perl and Laura B�chert Schjodt.

Book your tickets for back-to-back film screenings at the City Hall and the Nepal Tourism Board, Exhibition Road. The festival will run till 13 December.
