Kathmandu: The Film Development Board has decided to give Rs 800,000 to an Oscar winning Nepali film. The board has decided to give Rs 200,000 to the Oscar-nominated film in the ‘Procedure for International Promotion of Film’ approved in Kartik 2077 BS.
The Board has allocated grant money in case of nomination and participation of indigenous film or filmmakers in film festivals, award programs and film workshops. The board has decided to give Rs 1 lakh to the film selected for the Golden Globe Award and Rs 2 lakh to the award winner. The rules for the Asia Pacific Screen Awards will be given Rs 100,000 for the film and Rs 150,000 for the winner.
It has been decided to give Rs 100,000 for short films and Rs 250,000 for feature films from Cannes to world famous festivals Berlin, Venice, Locarno, Toronto, Sundance and International Film Festival Rotterdam. Different / different amounts have been allocated to other festivals in the list of International Film Festivals and Awards.
The procedure also states that the film going to the Torino Film Lab will be paid Rs 300,000 for travel and Rs 200,000 for participation. The same amount of grant has been earmarked for the film of European Audiovisual Entrepreneur, The Sam Spiegel International and Les Is More Lab.
Chiranjivi Guragain, information officer of the board, said that the grant has been announced to encourage and support the filmmakers nominated in such film festivals and labs. When Puja Gurung and Vibhushan Basnet were selected for the Cannes Film Festival, the festival only paid for their stay. Travel expenses not paid. They talked about not going to Cannes without paying for the trip, ‘Guragain said,’ and the board was shocked to hear that. Therefore, we have made this procedure so that such filmmakers have to create an environment to reach those festivals. If someone wants to go to the festival, we have brought this program so that it will not be stopped because of the ticket. With the passage of the procedure, many have been protesting against it.
