PRITHVI MAN SHRESTHA KATHMANDU, JAN 27 The KP Sharma Oli government, which has technically turned into a caretaker administration since the dissolu- tion of the House on December 20, released on Monday around Rs 6.56 billion for the highly controversial Local Infrastructure Development Partnership Programme. The programme is a lawmakers-led scheme which faces criticism for being distributive and many say it promotes misuse of the funds, as it is mainly run by local consumer committees usually at the behest of political party cadres. That the budget has been released after the dissolution of the lower house of Parliament, which effectively means there are no lawmakers, the government move has come into question. Under the programme, lawmakers “supposedly” play a lead role in selection and monitoring of the projects. Experts and analysts say the budget release after declar- ing the elections could give undue advantage to some candidates. After dissolving the House, the Oli government has called snap polls for April 30 and May 10. “The budget of Rs6.56 billion has been released to imple- ment various projects in 164 out of 165 electoral constituen- cies,” Basanta Adhikari, spokesperson for the Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration, told the Post. >> Continued on page 2 #SleepLikeAPampersBaby C M Y K THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2021 | 02 NATIONAL Youth hacked to death over school committee election dispute in Bajhang Ward chairman and three others arrested in connection with the murder.

    Monday, April 26, 2021 | No. 165 One of the things moviegoers like most about going to theatres is seeing films on the Big Screen, "the way they were meant to be seen." What people don't realize is that when films started in the mid-1890s, there were neither screens nor projectors. The very short films of that era were meant to be seen individually by looking into peep show machines in arcades. Those Kinetoscope devices were one of many inventions from Thomas Edison's factory in West Orange, NJ. Since Edison was monetizing his Kinetoscopes quite well, he had no interest in developing a machine to project film images on walls. Others, however, saw a big future in showing films to groups of people. Peep show owners, in fact, were very vocal in pressing Edison to devise a Film projection to large audiences was much more way to show life size images on arcade walls.

It would have premiered three days earlier, but it took longer than expected to install the machinery. That first night audience was dazzled by film images projected on a 20 foot canvas screen set within a gilded frame.

Nominees for Best Feature included Eighth Grade, First Reformed, If Beale Street Could Talk, Leave No Trace and You Were Never Really Here. “This year’s nominees reflect the bold originality that is the heart of independent film,” said Film Independent President Josh Welsh. “At a time when huge tent-pole franchises threaten to dominate our film culture, this year’s films and filmmakers offer something completely different – something vital, uncompromising, and needed. The nominees also show that, when it comes to diversity and inclusion, independent film is leading the way for the rest of the industry.” Suspiria was selected to receive the Robert Altman Award, which is bestowed upon one film’s director, casting director and ensemble cast.
