Minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Khadakraj Poudel has said that the Nepali film industry has enhanced the country's international recognition. Addressing a program organized in Kathmandu, Minister Poudel said that Nepali art and artists have enhanced the country's prestige at the global level, citing the fact that Avinash Bikram Shah's short film 'Lori' won a prestigious award at the Cannes Film Festival. Stating that the names of Mount Everest and Gautam Buddha alone are not enough to make Nepal known, Minister Poudel emphasized that Nepali art and creativity should also be recognized in the world.
'Nepali cinema is taking a huge leap forward. Avinashji is a representative character in its latest series.... 'Lori' won a prestigious award at Cannes, I had seen that it was discussed more in India than in Nepal. That discussion is a means of introducing the country. If the country is recognized, we are also recognized. How many will always be known only by Mount Everest? There are artists here who are taller than Mount Everest. How many will be saved only by the name of Lord Gautam Buddha?,' said Minister Poudel. Saying that he highly respects the contribution of artists, he mentioned that everyone's cooperation is necessary in this journey of Nepali cinema.
