Docskool feels privileged as one of Nepal’s first and longest running collective of filmmakers. Looking back at the nearly 18 years of our existence, almost everything feels very surreal and overwhelming. Most of what we have did and continue to do were products of our own need as filmmakers. With little reference they have been home grown projects strengthened with our own learning. Through out this journey the emphasis has continued to be on films born from communities and for people that matter most to us.
