April 1998The Indian army has been clamping down in Kashmir. Although most Kashmiris want total independence, or to be joined with Pakistan, India is pushing for a military solution. The sun rises over Lake Dal in Indian occupied Kashmir, a land that time forgot. The exquisite floating villas which used to house wealthy foreign tourists today stand empty. The neighbouring city, Srinigar - summer capital of the states of Jammu and Kashmir - is occupied by half a million Indian troops. Kashmir is divided through the stunning Himalayas. The British colonial rulers used to call this the happy valley. Now, it's become a valley of fear. Fear of the Indian soldiers, fear of the Muslim rebels. Both sides commit atrocities, both create refugees, both have nuclear weapons. [ More Detail ]

Come &Enjoy Himalaya Filmfestival 2009!Op 14 en 15 februari 2009 is er een feest in Nederland, voor wie er oog voor heeft...In ons lage land bij de zee worden zo'n 45 films en documentaires vertoond over de hoogste bergenTegenwoordig kennen de meesten van ons de Himalayaregio - met plaatsen als Pakistan, Kasjmir, Nepal, Bhutan en Tibet - waarschijnlijk als een regio vol terreur, of een streek waar fanatisme en strijd aan de orde van de dag zijn. Of we denken precies het tegenovergestelde en beschouwen de Himalaya regio als een etherisch Shangri-La dat slechts dun bevolkt wordt door mensen die het "geheim van het Leven" kennen. We weten zo weinig van dit deel van de wereld dat we ons zowel de ergste als de meest uitzonderlijke voorstellingen ervan kunnen maken. In werkelijkheid vind je er krijgsheren, gewapende meisjes die zich bij de opstandelingen hebben aangesloten en legers die de bevolking onderdrukken; maar je vindt er ook rondtrekkende asceten, in het rood geklede monniken en mooie mensen die lachen om hun eigen armoede. De Himalaya regio is echter meer dan dat: het is ook een gebied met vele natuurlijke en cultuurlandschappen, met een lange en ingewikkelde geschiedenis, met zeer uiteenlopende bevolkingsgroepen. We hopen u te laten zien dat het ware gezicht van de Himalaya regio pas zichtbaar wordt als we verder kijken dan de stereotypen. Dit Filmfestival geeft u de kans om, door middel van uitstekende films en documentaires, de Himalaya regio te ontdekken, om verder te reizen dan het beeld van de streek dat u in gewone films krijgt voorgeschoteld en om kennis te maken met de fascinerende diversiteit en haar unieke karakter.45 films in 2dagen tijd: www.himalayafilmfestival.nl [ More Detail ]
