KATHMANDU, July 29: The worldwide premiere of 'Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa' will be set for the 48th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

 

This is yet another Nepali story that has been selected for a prestigious international film festival after 'The Red Suitcase' that made it to the Venice Film Festival this year.

The 'Mountain Queen: the Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa' is based on the life and times of renowned female mountain climber, Lhakpa Sherpa, who scaled the highest mountain in the world- Mt Everest- (Sagarmatha) for the record ten times in 2022.

Directed by Lucy Walker, the film documents the 'remarkable' life of the 49-year-old mother of three besides narrating her mountaineering feat.

The 48th edition of TIFF is scheduled from September 7 to 17 in Canada.
