A Pakistani short film festival

Young filmmakers from across Pakistan were invited to submit films, which for them reflected the extraordinary lives of ordinary Pakistanis. A panel of six committee members in Pakistan selected the films especially for screening at The Drum.

At a time when Pakistan is constantly portrayed in the Western media as a ‘failed state’ supposedly synonymous with the ‘war on terror’ these films provide a timely alternative representation from the perspective of young Pakistanis. Come and see these films and hear the stories of ordinary people as they go about their daily lives in their extraordinary homeland.

The Drum acknowledges help and support from Durriya Kazi and Sarwar Mushtaq.
