Australia. Australian film producer and director Andrew Hyde has donated 3,000 Australian dollars from the amount collected from the release of his film to the Prime Minister’s Natural Disaster Relief Fund of the Government of Nepal. Hyde, who lives in the Sun Coast, said that he will continue to provide humanitarian assistance through the release of the film in the coming days.
Director Hyde said that the screening of the film Chasing Chaos was successful in various cities of Australia. He informed that the funds received from the recent screening in Brisbane have already been made available for the flood victims of Nepal and he said that in the coming days, the film will be screened in other cities of Australia as well as abroad.
Although it has not been shot in Nepal, director Hyde says that the film highlights the importance of humanitarian assistance during disasters. He said that the film will give a message that human losses can be reduced if we can join hands for timely help according to the available resources and means, rather than just waiting for relief after a disaster. He believes that this message is also relevant to the current disaster situation in Nepal. Expressing his happiness at being able to use the movie screening as a means to help the flood victims in Nepal, Hyde pledged to continue the relief campaign with the upcoming screenings.
However, he has expressed sorrow that the presence of Nepali or Nepali origin audience has not been seen in the screening of his films. He expressed hope that the participation of Nepali audience in the upcoming exhibition will increase as the aim is to connect the Nepali community in the support campaign.
Meanwhile, NCX International is assisting with Hyde’s upcoming film screening. The film is scheduled to be screened at the Dandy Cinema in Canberra on Tuesday, November 10 at 6:45 p. m. Audiences can purchase tickets through the official website of Dandy Cinema.
Nitin Chand, director of NCX International, has urged the Nepali community to watch the movie and participate in this humanitarian campaign. The organization says that watching movies can not only be an entertainment opportunity but also a means to help the flood victims of Nepal. At a time when efforts are being made to raise funds for the relief and rehabilitation of flood-affected families in Nepal, Hyde’s initiative to link the screening of the film to the humanitarian campaign is expected to attract the attention of the Nepali community in Australia.
