Some beautiful memories from Mestia. ❤️

JAAR found its way to Mestia, to the mountains, to people who understand their silence, their weight, and the stories they carry.

JAAR received the Best Mountain Film Award at the Mestia International Short & Mountain Film Festival

A heartfelt thank you to Khatuna Khundadze, filmmaker, producer, founder and Festival Director, and to the wonderful jury for welcoming JAAR into this beautiful celebration of mountain cinema, and for looking beyond the film and connecting with what lies within it.

We are deeply honoured. This recognition means a great deal to everyone who made JAAR and believed in its journey.

Our deepest gratitude to Khatuna Khundadze for building and nurturing such a remarkable festival with warmth, conviction and a genuine love for mountain cinema, and for creating a space where films from different mountains and different worlds can meet, speak to each other, and be understood.

Mestia will remain a very special chapter in JAAR’s journey.

With gratitude,
Founder|Director

JAAR has won Best Mountain Film at the Mestia International Short & Mountain Film Festival.

What a journey. What an honour.

This belongs to every single person who stood by this film... from our incredible cast and crew to our co-producers Hope Reels (Dr. Anita Dey), LA-7 Shorts (Jyoti Chettri/Shristi Sharma & Prajwal Kharel), Baral Studios (Dr. Siddhi Raj Sharma), and Kiwa Productions (Gyanan Rai). Thank you for believing in this story and giving it your heart. To everyone who came forward to support Jaar in big ways and small, this celebration is yours too.

On a personal note, Jaar would never have existed without the celebrated writer Indra Bahadur Rai. His work inspired me to make this film because it binds Nepalis through our shared history, culture, and the enduring spirit of the mountains.

This award is for all of us.

Thank you Mestia International Short & Mountain Film Festival

As the world watches the FIFA World Cup Final, we’re suddenly torn. We’ve always rooted for Argentina, but Spain’s incredible love for Jaar has won our hearts too.
Thank you, Spain.
