Kathmandu. The 'Sixth Nepal Indigenous Film Festival – 2083' organized by the Indigenous Peoples Film Federation will start on Jestha 17.

On Thursday, at a press conference in Kathmandu, the Indigenous Peoples Film Federation informed that the festival is being organized with the objective of highlighting the history, language, script, culture, community memory, and original narratives of the indigenous communities in a country like Nepal, which has characteristics of being multilingual, multicultural, and multi-religious. According to festival director Sagar Kerung, this year's festival will not only be a formal film screening event but will also be a form of cultural justice, self-representation, linguistic renaissance, and resistance against colonialism and a cinematic movement.
