The recently concluded 2025 Himalayan Rim Regional Film Exhibition has emerged as a vibrant platform for cross-cultural dialogue, with organizers reporting over 3,000 young Nepalese students engaged through cutting-edge cinematic experiences. Held in Kathmandu from December 14-21, the event showcased how traditional Chinese storytelling merges with augmented reality and AI-driven animation techniques.
Educational Impact
Tribhuvan University's Central Department of Journalism and Mass Communication led student participation, with department head Kundan Aryal noting: "The VR reconstructions of ancient Chinese philosophical tales particularly resonated with our anthropology students. This fusion of heritage preservation and technological innovation sets new benchmarks for regional cultural exchanges."
Parallel workshops demonstrated real-time motion capture applications in animation production, attracting film professionals from across South Asia. Industry analysts observe such initiatives could reshape content creation partnerships between the Chinese mainland and Himalayan nations.
