Film South Asia is a competitive biennial festival of documentary films on South Asian subjects that provides a quality platform to exhibit new works and to promote a sense of community among independent filmmakers.

It is organized by Himal Association, a not-for-profit institution dedicated to spreading knowledge and information in Nepal and South Asia.

In the nine years of its establishment, Film South Asia, the only such event that is solely dedicated to showcasing contemporary South Asian non-fiction film, has gained a deserving recognition within the region and globally as a world-class festival. This is evident from the ever-increasing number of filmmakers interested in having their films screened at this festival, the high percentage of participation of filmmakers at the festival at their own cost and the increasing interest of institutions in South Asia and beyond to bring a part of the festival to their towns by hosting the Travelling Film South Asia festival.

In Autumn 2005, in an effort to continue providing a platform for a defined South Asian culture for quality documentary production and viewer-ship, Film South Asia is presenting the fifth edition of its biennial festival of South Asian documentaries.
