The organizing team informed that they are organizing an international film festival for the preservation, promotion and development of original art, culture and film. Santosh Subedi, director of the festival, expressed his complaint that the related agencies should organize programs for the preservation and promotion of art, film and culture by themselves, but they did not receive support and assistance from the relevant agencies when the previous film festivals were being held.
He says that this film festival is more important because there are many categories such as best movies, best short films, but also best women’s movies, best children’s movies, best cultural movies, best documentaries and other genres are encouraged. Few films are made in Nepal with themes according to genre, or they are not made. Even if it is made, there is no place to demonstrate it and no organization to encourage it. Even if thematic films become excellent, they do not get a place, they are kept behind in the competition. But he claims that this festival is able to cover everyone. The organizing team said that the festival will be organized in Kathmandu.
