Five thousand people participated in the festival, including locals as well as people from Himachal and other states.

As per the press release of Himachal International Film and Art Festival, fifty films were shown for three days, and workshops on mud sculpting, fashion design, modelling, dance, acting, and film-making were organised for school children, youths, and others.

Actor Raghuveer Yadav said this festival will establish new dimensions. On the occasion of closing, film Raghuveer shared his three-day experience.

He shared that he has seen many film festivals, but this one held in the lap of nature is unforgettable in itself.
