Known as a tourist destination and culturally rich, Thaha municipality is a preferred location for film shooting. This festival, which is being organized with the slogan 'Movies for Tourism', also aims to connect domestic tourism through films.
festival coordinator Pramodkrishna Joshi says, 'Despite being close to cities like Kathmandu and Hetaunda, there is no cinema hall operating in Thaha Municipality so far. Therefore, this festival has been organized targeting the audience here who cannot easily watch movies.' He adds, 'It is our aim that domestic tourism also thrives on the pretext of watching movies.'
