Documentaries from across the globe hit the big screen of Sher-i-Kashmir International Conference Center located on the banks of the famed Dal Lake in Srinagar city, which is hosting its first-ever international film festival in more than 23 years.

The theatres remained shut following a diktat by of separatist's outfits in the region.

Short films from countries like Germany, Afghanistan, France, and Pakistan besides the ones made by Kashmiri youths were being screened at the four-day long festival. Dec 20, 2013
