Taragaon Next is excited to collaborate with Placemaking Nepal to host an exclusive screening of the documentary “Close Encounters of the 34th Avenue Kind”, a 68-minute film by Streetfilms (New York) on open streets and the power of public space.

This will be an exclusive screening in Kathmandu and the first international screening of the documentary.

Who is this film for?

This screening is for anyone interested in cities, public spaces, community, placemaking, urban design, architecture, mobility, culture, or simply curious about how small local actions can transform neighbourhoods.

About the documentay film:

The 68 minute documentary tells the inspiring story of how one residential street in New York City evolved into a thriving community space through an Open Streets initiative. While rooted in New York, its themes of public space, community, and placemaking are universally relevant and offer meaningful reflections for Kathmandu.
