Honoring Stories, Celebrating Nepali Cinema with Integrity
Since 2014, the Film Critics’ Society of Nepal (FICSON) has stood as an independent voice in Nepali cinema—protecting the rights of film journalists and elevating the industry through fair, unbiased recognition.
FICSON views cinema not just as entertainment but as a mirror of society. Through screenings and dialogues that embrace both mainstream and alternative films, FICSON nurtures a truthful and enriching cinematic conversation.
"Cinema is not only a medium of entertainment—it is an art, a philosophy, and a reflection of society... This year, as the curtains rise at Mandala Theatre, we recommit ourselves to celebrating Nepali cinema with fairness, passion, and integrity."
— Samipya Raj Timalsena, President, FICSON
