The workshop was inaugurated by Maoist leader Krishna Bahadur Mahara. Along with three foreign experts, the workshop also involves 12 Nepali filmmakers and more than 60 participants. The organisers said that apart from discussing films, the workshop will also produce six short films based on the lives of the people in Rolpa. They hope that this festival will help to dispel the notion of the district as a violent place.
The starting day of the festival also saw filmmaker Om Pratik and litterateur Kulananda Giri being felicitated. Both of them hail from Rolpa.
The workshop will end on February 14.
