Hosting the film allowed participants to have a visual appreciation for the country of Nepal, and we were honored to have the director of the series, Jaswant Dev Shrestha, at the film screening, sharing his experience in making the films. We believe participants had an amazing experience by learning about festivals in the film and experiencing the thrill of being at a festival directly after.”
