Kathmandu – The women-centric film Satidevi will have a special screening this coming Saturday (Shrawan 31 / August 16) in Virginia, USA. Organized in honor of women on the auspicious occasion of Teej, the special show was announced by organizer Pushkar Pant.
Pant, who has been living in the USA for a long time yet remains active in Nepali film production, acting, and social service, said that Satidevi has won several national and international awards, making it a celebrated and high-quality film worthy of a special presentation. “We decided to organize this show with the belief that more such authentic, family-oriented films should be produced and watched by more audiences.
