About Clikman Production
Documentary Cinema from the Great Himalayan Arc
- Stories That Rise, Perspectives That Endure
There is a thin line between documenting a place and truly inhabiting it. At Clikman Productions, we live on that line. Based in Nepal, at the confluence of the Himalayas and the subcontinent, we believe the most powerful stories emerge not from observation alone, but from deep immersion.
Led by award-winning filmmaker and cinematographer Samir Jung Thapa, we bring over a decade of expedition-grade experience to every frame — translating the raw, the remote, and the rarely seen into cinema of uncommon grace. From the high-altitude cryosphere to the rhythms of rural life, we capture stories that demand both technical nerve and artistic restraint.
Our work moves across science, culture, exploration, and human development, united by a commitment to research-driven narratives that resonate far beyond the screen. Trusted by institutions including the United Nations, WWF, USAID, ICIMOD, and the Asian Development Bank, and broadcast partners including Al Jazeera and NHK (Japan's national broadcaster), we bring field-based perspectives to global audiences.
Our team combines creative vision, technical precision, and deep regional knowledge to bring every story from concept to screen. A close-knit crew of cinematographers, researchers, and field producers, we move fluidly between high-altitude expeditions and intimate human stories — equipped with industry-standard gear, deep regional expertise, and full production support for filmmakers, development organizations, and international co-productions alike.
