Beskop Tshechu Film Festival is Bhutan’s leading platform for short films and regional cinema.
Founded in 2011 by a group of passionate artists, the festival was born out of a need to share creative work and foster dialogue among Bhutanese filmmakers. At its core is a vibrant competition showcasing Bhutanese short films, alongside a curated selection of feature films from across the region. More than just a festival, Beskop Tshechu is a space for inspiration, exchange, and storytelling rooted in local voices.
Its sixth edition is taking place from 23 to 26 May 2025 in Thimphu.
