Through this film festival, the audience may find differences between Nepalese lifestyle or ways of thinking, and Japanese ways, but they may also find similarities.  It is hoped that the film festival will increase the understanding Nepalese people have of Japan and its culture, and in turn lead to the continued development of our friendly relations.
