Highway (2012) to be screened at SAFF Canada, 2012 as part of the Debut Views program.

Set among the breathtaking landscapes of Eastern Nepal, Highway follows the journey of nine characters whose individual stories become accidentally interconnected during an ill-fated bus journey to the capital, Kathmandu. The passengers—each of whom urgently needs to be somewhere else—find themselves stranded on the only main road due to an improvised and unlawful blockade known as a "bandh". While the passengers work out a resolution to escape the combustible strike, the film shifts into their psychological and spiritual "bandhs", exploring a situation that many Nepalis are contending with since the end of the bloody 12-year civil conflict.

Directed by Deepak Rauniyar. Cast includes Karma, Saugat Malla, Shristi Ghimire, Dayahang Rai, Asha Magarati, Vinay Shrestha, Eelum Dixit.
