Nepal America International Film Festival 2020 Canceled Due to Coronavirus
After careful consultation with our team and advisors regarding the health and safety of everyone in our industry — our filmmakers, our partners, our sponsors, and our volunteers — we have made the difficult decision to cancel Nepal America International Film Festival, scheduled for June 26–28 in the Greater Washington DMV area (DC/Maryland/Virginia).
Following the increased and overwhelming cases and concerns about the COVID-19: both nationally and internationally, we feel that this is the best way to proceed during such an unprecedented global situation. We are very disappointed that we are unable to hold this event for our fans and supporters, but we also would like you to be back for our 2021 Film Festival.
