The goal of Film South Asia, an organisation within Himal Southasian magazine, set up in 1997 when the first edition of the festival of Southasian documentaries was organised, is to popularise the documentary so that it entertains, informs and changes lives. In addition to showcasing the best documentaries made within Southasia every two years, FSA also brings together filmmakers from all over the region to discuss films, share ideas and find avenues to promote Southasian non-fiction films within the Subcontinent and around the world. We at Film South Asia believe the powerful medium of the audio/visual will not only help in better representing the region internationally, but also contribute immensely in introspection and attempts to change for the better at the local level.

Film South Asia is a competitive biennial festival that runs usually over four days in Kathmandu. Film South Asia '09 is the seventh edition of the festival and will be a four-day event, to be held from 17-20 September 2009. The films are judged by a three-member Southasian jury and the best film is awarded the ‘Ram Bahadur Trophy’ for Best Film along with a citation and a cash prize of USD 2,000. The second best film will be awarded a citation and cash prize of USD 1,000 and the Best Debut Film (introduced from Film South Asia ’05) will be awarded a citation and cash prize of USD 1,000.
