An upcoming Hollywood film shot in Australia and Nepal has sparked conversation about cinema’s role in promoting cultural understanding and building relations across borders. Filmmakers and experts share their industry insights.
Filmmakers Kalani Gacon and Sabin Gnawali forged a connection based on three elements: Australia, Nepal and cinema. Hailing from the Blue Mountains in Sydney, Gacon has embraced Nepal as his second home, learning the language and cultural intricacies. Conversely, Gnawali moved down under from Nepal in 2012 for his higher studies and now works in the Australian film industry.
"I tried to change that in Nepal, and I failed, I failed miserably. It's a beauty in that casualness and chaos." Gacon agreed, recalling a time when he was working on a feature film as an assistant director in Nepal where most of the crew members were Nepali.
