Nepal’s “Bhunte” marks the feature debut of Bikas Neupane, who previously directed two acclaimed shorts. The project has been selected for the 21st Hong Kong — Asia Film Financing…
The film will follow 12-year-old Bhunte, who lives with his poor father and mother in a small village called Khahare, located in Nepal’s western plains. He has an obsession with soccer, despite his asthma-stricken father’s objection. One day at school, Bhunte vows to buy a soccer ball of his own when his classmates don’t let him play with them.
“With time, I moved from the village to the town and then from the town to the city. The city pulled me into the world of theater and films. I started acting in theater and making films with my friends. I started learning to write scripts. That was when I decided to write a story based on my childhood memories, and so I went back to my village. It had already been 10 years since I left Gaughat,” Neupane adds. “‘Bhunte’ is a family drama film, and explores a child’s love, desire and despair.
