The Inaugural Himalayan Rim Regional Film Exhibition 2025 officially commenced at Tribhuvan University in Kirtipur on Sunday.
The event, themed "Civilizational Mutual Learning, Technological Innovation" utilized a rich array of forms, including animated film screenings, craft workshops, cultural creative displays, and cinematic dialogues, to bring an audiovisual feast where traditional Chinese culture seamlessly blends with modern technology to Nepal young students.
The animated film 'The Legend of Hei 2', which was screened this afternoon, continued to draw many students. Utilizing its unique dynamic storyboard pre-visualization technology, the film vividly portrayed a heartwarming story of harmonious coexistence between humans and "demons"—the personifications of mountains, water, wood, stone, and animals—conveying the ecological concept of the unity of nature and humanity and the co-existence of all things, deeply captivating the audience.
The subsequent "Blind Box Interaction" session brought the atmosphere to a climax, with students eagerly participating in questionnaires and activities to win limited-edition film merchandise.
This inaugural stop of the touring exhibition at Tribhuvan University was widely welcomed by the faculty and students. Many students expressed that through the screenings and exchange sessions, they not only appreciated the unique aesthetic style and exquisite production techniques of Chinese animation but were also full of anticipation for the prospects of bilateral cooperation in the field of digital creation.
The exhibition, organized by 1905 Movie Network, plans to boost China-Nepal cultural exchange and build a solid "digital bridge" for the youths.
After Tribhuvan University, the exhibition will move to Kathmandu University and Lumbini Buddhist University. The week-long exhibition will conclude on December 21.
