Free Shambhala Movie Screening and Panel Discussion with Crew Members

Nepal Students Union (NSU) at Nepal Law Campus is organizing a free screening of the critically acclaimed Nepali drama film Shambhala, followed by a panel discussion featuring members of the movie's crew. Shambhala, a 2024 release directed by Min Bahadur Bham and starring Thinley Lhamo, Tenzin Dalha, and Sonam Topden, gained international recognition as the first Nepali film to compete at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival for the prestigious Golden Bear.

The event is scheduled for Sept 30 (Monday) at 6:30 am at Vishwajyoti Cineplex, Jamal. The panel discussion will feature director Min Bahadur Bham, lead actors Thinley Lhamo and Karma Shakya, who will engage with students and attendees. The discussion is expected to explore themes such as women’s empowerment and the portrayal of northern Nepalese society through the lens of cinema.

"This event will play a key role in reflecting the reality of northern Nepal through the medium of cinema and will highlight women's empowerment issues across the country," said MD Mazid Parwez, President of NSU Nepal Law Campus.

While entry to the screening is free, only 150 participants will be allowed, and they must register via a Google Form provided by NSU NLC. The event will be hosted by Ashis Sapkota and aims to foster a connection between law students, the legal fraternity, and Nepal's often-overlooked northern culture.
