Hi everyone,
We wanted to inform our friends in the industry that the Nepal International Film Festival and festival organizer Nepal Film and Culture Academy are being represented at the 75th General Assembly of the International Federation of film societies, currently being held in Granollers, Spain. It is a pleasure to announce that our festival is now a permanent member of this prestigious international organization. We hope to do our part in assisting IFFS and member institutions from all over the world in promoting global film societies and film-for-education movements worldwide.
Our representative to the General Assembly, festival Chair Mr. K.P. Pathak, also participated in the election for the next IFFS team, which ultimately voted Mr. Joao Paulo Macedo (President), Mr. Gabriel Rodriguez (General Secretary), and team to the office for the coming year. We would like to congratulate Mr. Macedo and his team and, at the same time, express our hope for improvements in the global film societies movement and related activities.
It is an immense pleasure for us to represent Nepal and the Nepali film industry at this prestigious event. Being able to express our views, culture and values on such an international platform is a victory for us and the Nepali film industry. We will continue our pioneering work in this area, seek more and more international dialogue and representation opportunities in the film and culture industries, and express hope that our Nepali film industry can support us in this venture.
Ultimately, we would like to thank Mr. Joao Paulo Macedo (IFFS President), Mr. Gabriel Rodriguez (IFFS General Secretary) and Mr. Premendra Mazumder (Secretary, IFFS Asia Pacific Chapter) for their invitation to the Nepal International Film Festival and Nepal Film and Culture Academy to join the International Federation of Film Societies (IFFS). We would also like to thank Mr. Julio Lamana from the Catalan Film Society for his support and hospitality to NIFF team in Barcelona / Granollers.
