One Faith, Many Stories: Uniting Nepali Voices for Christ
Nepali Christian Film Festival 2019
Kathmandu, Nepal.
About Nepali Christian Film Festival
The history of Nepali Christian films spans over 25 years. To build on this foundation, we have launched this initiative to further organize the Nepali Christian film industry, promote it internationally, and inspire the younger generation to get involved.
This platform is for Christian filmmakers who have meaningful stories to tell, even on a small budget. It is an opportunity for those who are passionate about creating films rooted in faith and purpose.
Our focus is on producing Christian films that are relevant to the Nepali context—films that share the gospel, present Bible-based stories, highlight personal testimonies, and uplift the Christian community. The ultimate goal is to expand the Kingdom of God through storytelling on screen, reaching Nepali-speaking audiences around the world.
With this vision, we organized the first Nepali Christian Film Festival in Kathmandu, Nepal, in September 2019.
