The Embassy of Japan and Japan Foundation, in cooperation with the Japanese Language Teachers’ Association Nepal ( JALTAN), are organizing a Japanese Film Festival in Pokhara and Kathmandu this March. The festival will be held at the Pokhara Chamber of Commerce and Industries premises on March 15-16. In Kathmandu, the movies will be shown at the Tribhuvan Army officer’s Club, Tundikhel on March 22-23.
“It is hoped that the film festival will contribute to greater understanding of Japanese culture among the Nepali people, and in turn lead to the continued expansion of our ever-friendly and cooperative relations,” a press release from the Embassy of Japan reads.
Nine Japanese films including animated movies with English subtitles will be screened. Among the notable movies being screened are ‘Survival Family’, ‘Ninja Kids’, ‘Pop in Q’ and ‘Hana no Ato’.
Entry in Pokhara is open to all for free on first-come-first-serve basis, while entry passes are mandatory for Kathmandu shows, which are available for free at the Embassy of Japan, Panipokhari and the JALTAN Office, Bishwo Bhasa Campus, Exhibition Road, also on a first-come-first-serve basis.
