After realizing many of the Nepali movie directors don’t know how to surf internet, the Film Directors’ Guild of Nepal has decided to offer internet browsing course, targeted to the Nepali film directors.

According to K. P. Pathak, the president of Guild, says, “Most of the directors are old and they don’t know much about the virtual world. They don’t know how to send email and browse internet.” Pathak added that the course was suggested by a number of members of the Guild. The two week course will ensure that the participants will be able to browse websites and collect information.

One more shortcoming in teaching about internet to the directors is the language barrier. Many of the directors can read or write in English (see the screenshot of their website below – a perfect example) and we don’t have many Nepali websites.

The Film Director’s Guild of Nepal established in 2001, to develop and promote the social, economic and cultural activities through a medium of cinema in a qualitative manner, had previously offered courses in health and personality development.

We hope the official website of the Guild will be made more useful with latest updates and less errors, after the course is complete. For example, the ‘about us’ page itself spells the organization name wrong and it is full of sentences that don’t make any sense.
