Movie Companions in Nepal
Going to the movies alone is fine, but going with someone who actually wants to discuss the film afterwards over momos is much better. Nepal has a thriving cinema scene — Bollywood, Kollywood (Nepali film industry), Hollywood, and Korean films all play in multiplexes across Kathmandu and Pokhara. There are also film festivals throughout the year: Kathmandu International Mountain Film Festival (KIMFF), Kathmandu International Film Festival (KIFF), FilmSouthAsia documentary festival. A verified SangiNepal movie companion can attend with you, share context about Nepali cinema if you're watching a Kollywood film, and grab dinner or drinks afterwards to discuss what you saw. They're especially useful for film festivals where you don't want to attend back-to-back screenings alone.
