Oscar International College established as the first college for film studies in Nepal is all set for a two-day film festival ‘Oscar Film Festival’ in collaboration with the Film Development Board (FDB). The college is going to hold a film festival on November 26 and 27 in the hall of the FDB, Chabahil.

According to a statement issued by the college, the festival will be held with the objective of continuing the festival that Oscar College has been conducting for a few years now.

“We had organized a virtual film festival last year despite COVID-19 pandemic. Also, we have received positive feedback that this festival has played an important role in reviving the movie industry that was badly affected during the pandemic,” the statement quotes Ram Raja Dahal, principal of the college.

The films made by college students will be screened at the festival along with the films selected at the world's prestigious film festival. Similarly, along with the regular film screenings, discussions on various topics related to Nepali cinema will be held in parallel in the festival.
