The selection committee of the Nepal International Film Festival (NIFF) that is taking place in Kathmandu on March 16-20 got full shape.
The committee took a final shape with the nomination of American actor Jeff Monahan as the selection committee for the feature film category. Mohanan has been active as an actor, writer, and producer for a long.
Earlier, Indian critic Premendra Mazumder was nominated as the chief, and actress Priyanka Karki was a member of the committee in the genre.
Likewise, film expert Prof Dr. Itami Borjan has been nominated as the decision-maker for the short and documentary film categories. Borjan, also an education expert, is teaching ethnography, documentaries, the history of world cinema, and its principles at Zagreb University, Croatia. Earlier, he was nominated as the chief of the same genre.
NIFF Chairperson KP Pathak said, "We are excited to get a world-class personality on the decision-making committee of NIFF. We are also confident that it would create an opportunity for the producers and directors of Nepal to have a face-to-face and understand the film and documentary making going on around the globe".
This year 95 long, short, and animated films from 35 countries that were selected for NIFF would be screened. Chair Pathak informed that 14 awards would be distributed on seven genres this year. ---
