Get ready for some red carpets and film festival flair! Kathmandu Mayor Balen Shah is jetting off to France to participate in the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. He’ll be there for three days, soaking up the atmosphere and participating in various events.
A Networking Opportunity:
Mayor Shah isn’t attending solo. He’s joined by key advisors and has a jam-packed schedule, including a meeting with Cannes Mayor David Lisnard and the festival director. A welcome reception is also planned in his honor.
Learning and Sharing:
This trip goes beyond glitz and glamour. As the mayor of Kathmandu, a UNESCO-designated “Creative City of Film,” Balen Shah will be observing the inner workings of the audio-visual content creation industry. This knowledge exchange is a valuable opportunity to learn from Cannes, another member of the “Creative City of Film” network.
A Spotlight on Nepali Film:
While no Nepali film made the official Cannes cut this year, Nepali talent shines nonetheless. “The Seamless Shot,” filmed in Nepal, is competing in the On Regard category, and the Nepali language film “Tara: A Lost Star” will be screened at the market.
This trip signifies a positive step for Nepal’s film industry and positions Kathmandu as a rising star in the world of cinema.
