The panel discussion titled ‘Geopolitics and Cinema’ will delve into this fascinating and complex relationship\, exploring how global politics and cultural differences have impacted the film industry\, and how films have in turn shaped public perceptions of international relations. \nGeopolitics\, or the study of the interplay between politics and geography\, has always had a significant impact on the film industry. Whether it is censorship of movies\, funding for film projects\, or cultural exchange programs\, geopolitical events have influenced the creation\, distribution\, and reception of movies across the world. The panel will examine how global events\, such as wars\, political conflicts\, and economic sanctions\, have affected the film industry\, and how filmmakers have responded to these challenges. \nOne of the key topics of discussion will be the representation of different cultures and regions in movies. Films have the power to shape public perceptions of different countries and cultures\, and the panelists will explore how films have portrayed various regions across the world. The discussion will examine how geopolitical events and cultural differences have impacted the representation of these regions in movies\, and how filmmakers have sought to challenge stereotypes and promote cross-cultural understanding. \nAnother important area of discussion will be the role of films in shaping national identities and foreign policy. The panel will examine how movies have reflected and reinforced national identities\, and how they have been used to promote or challenge specific foreign policy agendas.  \nThe panelists for this discussion are Leela Nyaichai\, Roshan Yadav\, Prakash Sayami and Prof. Khadga K.C. This discussion will be moderated by Yogesh Dhakal.  URL:https://niff.org.np/event/geopolitics-and-cinema-%e0%a4%ad%e0%a5%81%e0%a4%b0%e0%a4%be%e0%a4%9c%e0%a4%a8%e0%a5%80%e0%a4%a4%e0%a4%bf%e0%a4%ae%e0%a4%be-%e0%a4%b8%e0%a4%bf%e0%a4%a8%e0%a5%87%e0%a4%ae%e0%a4%be%e0%a4%95%e0%a5%8b/ LOCATION:Nepal Tourism Board\, Pradarshani Marg\, Bhrikutimandap\, Kathmandu ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://niff.org.np/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/event-program-banner-2023-08-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Katmandu:20230317T133000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Katmandu:20230317T160000 DTSTAMP:20260803T010407 CREATED:20230301T160215Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230306T053903Z UID:4742-1679059800-1679068800@niff.org.np SUMMARY:Film Program [Ticket L2B] DESCRIPTION:Memories of Gloomy Monsoons (1”36’26) \nDirected by Khandaker Sumon \n(Bangladesh) \nWorld Panorama \n  \nSubedar (00” 20’ 00) \nDirected by Debabrata Athokpam\, Rolivin Thangjam\, Devadarshan Gurumayum \n(India) \nDOCS @ NIFF \n  \nAll film tickets are open to pre-booking through the Khalti mobile app starting 5th March 2023.
