The Film Development Board (FDB) was established by the Government of Nepal for the development and promotion of the Nepali Film Industry on June 30, 2000. FDB has been continuously working towards creating a supportive environment for the development of Nepali Film Industry and promoting different aspects of film production in Nepal. At the same time, it has also been working to promote films in the international market. It also attempts to bridge the gap between film entrepreneurship and government bureaucracy. 

Thus FDB is a balance between the people at large, the government, and the whole process of filmmaking. It therefore functions as the safeguard of the interests of the people, the watchdog of the government, and the advocate of the filmmakers. Similarly, the Film Development Board is also keen to facilitate the foreign filmmakers who choose Nepal to be their destination for shooting their film. It is committed to providing all kinds of facilities possible.
