HIMALAYA FILM FESTIVAL TOKYO 2008

October 20 2008 09:27

Himalaya Archief Nederland (Dutch NGO) and Himalaya Archive Japan (Japanese NPO) are pleased to announce that we will organize the Himalaya Film Festival in Tokyo (‘Himalaya Film Festival Tokyo 2008”) this autumn from October 31 to November 3, 2008.

The Himalaya Film Festival aims at raising awareness of the connection between human beings and mother earth through the Himalayan region, offering the public an excellent and unique opportunity to take a closer look at the region. The film festival took place in Amsterdam for the first time in 2003, organized by Himalaya Archief Nederland.The HFFT 2008 will screen thirty documentaries that cover topics ranging from intrepid climbing expeditions to history and traditional lifestyle unique to the region, to pressing environmental issues. In conjunction with the festival, Arjia Rinpoche, a prominent Tibetan Buddhist, will give a lecture entitled ‘How Buddhism deals with Global Warming Issues’ at the same venue. We firmly believe that the Himalaya Film Festival Tokyo 2008 will help foster people’s understanding about the Himalayan region, the relationship between humans and nature, and environmental issues under the concept of the project-‘Think of the Mother Earth, Think from the Himalayas.’ The structure of the festival is as follows: OFFICIAL NAME: Himalaya Film Festival TOKYO 2008 HOST: Himalaya Archief Nederland (Dutch NGO) Himalaya Archive Japan (Japanese NPO) SUPPORT: Embassy of India; Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; Alpine Tour Service Inc.
