Cinema Of Nepal
Nepal does not have a very long movie history but the industry has its own place in the cultural heritage of the country. Most Nepali movies use Bollywood-style songs and narrative and are shot on 16-millimeter film. In industry parlance, Kathmandu, the capital and center of the Nepali-language film industry, is called Kollywood (or Kaliwood as an alternate spelling) within Nepal (not to be confused with India's Tamil-language film industry, Kollywood, based in Chennai). Most recently, it is often referred to as Nepali Chalchitra (which translates to Nepali Movies in English.)

Famous quotes containing the word cinema:
“Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.”
—Frederico Fellini (1920–1993)
