Kathmandu, January 4: China Film Day is being organized for the first time in Kathmandu to further strengthen the cultural relations between Nepal and China. The event is scheduled to take place on January 9 at the QFX Center in Thamel.

Talking about the significance of ‘China Film Day’, Chairman of Nepal Film and Cultural Academy KP Pathak said that it is not only an event to showcase films but also a bridge between two vibrant cultures.

“By introducing the creativity and depth of Chinese films, we will provide an opportunity for Nepali filmmakers to learn, collaborate and broaden their horizons.” Pathak further elaborated on the wide-ranging impact of such cultural exchanges, saying, “Such events play an important role in promoting mutual respect, bonding and understanding among nations.” It paves the way for co-productions, joint projects, and the creation of shared stories that reach a global audience. I believe that this is just the beginning of a new chapter in Nepal-China film relations. China Film Day is expected to play an important role in strengthening Nepal-China cultural diplomacy and film cooperation in 2025 and beyond.
