Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.35,0:02:04.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think it's very important. We were talking a bit \N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.92,0:02:07.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,earlier about that new facility they want to build.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.02,0:02:13.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the international audience but also for the local
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.51,0:02:15.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,audience for some of the independent film makers,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.77,0:02:17.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the smaller budget people,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.35,0:02:19.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,absolutely important and probably a big employer
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.97,0:02:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the Province, I would imagine, as well.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.44,0:02:23.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The uniqueness of the Picture This Film Festival
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.64,0:02:26.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that you certain criteria for these films as well.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.39,0:02:28.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Yeah, the criteria really just are about who's \N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:28.61,0:02:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,making the films or the topic, right? So, it's either
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.48,0:02:34.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a film maker with a disability and as I said, those
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.19,0:02:36.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can be on anything. We have three entries
Dialogue: 0,0:02:36.72,0:02:39.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this year from a filmmaker from Kathmandu

Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.58,0:02:42.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And one of his entries is on child labour.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.87,0:02:45.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's got nothing to do with disability per se, \N
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.56,0:02:47.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so…or as I said,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.69,0:02:49.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if it's on the topic of disability
Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.28,0:02:50.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,anybody can enter a film.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.59,0:02:51.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you're looking for something unique,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.95,0:02:53.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,something kind of different, well, it's
