There are also demands that tax exemptions on films should be arranged, single theaters should be subsidized and brought into the concept of multiplexes, Kathmandu metropolis should develop the auditorium as a film center, and film education should be included in the curriculum of schools and colleges.

The assembly said that if a film development bank could be established, there would be relief in film funding. Under the leadership of the film director Manoj Pandit, the film workers gathered in the capital on Saturday.

Neer Shah, Dipendra Gauchan, Film Association President Narendra Maharjan, Director's Society President Janakdeep Parajuli, filmmakers Rabindrasingh Baniyan, Pradeep Bhattarai, Jakkan Upreti, Usha Rajak and other new generation filmmakers participated.
