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:
“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
