Introduction to the film festival
We are thrilled to announce that Third Eye is organising the 4th Nepali Film Festival in London! Building on the success of our previous festival—which welcomed more than 850 participants, screened 10 outstanding films, and honoured 5 exceptional works at the closing ceremony—we are excited to continue this inspiring journey.
This year, we are already receiving an overwhelming response from filmmakers across the globe. The Nepali Film Festival has been proudly recognised by British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, along with many distinguished filmmakers, reflecting the growing influence of Nepali cinema on the international stage.
The United Kingdom, home to one of the world’s most vibrant entertainment industries, offers a powerful platform for filmmakers to engage with diverse audiences. As a key cultural event, the Nepali Film Festival London celebrates cinematic excellence across a range of categories. Organised by the dedicated Third Eye team, the festival honours remarkable achievements through official awards and welcomes contributions from independent juries.
We look forward to another unforgettable celebration of Nepali films, culture, and storytelling。
