From the time when not a single Pakistani movie was played in the cinemas, we have now reached a place where there is an overabundance of movies being released. Even though not all the movies produced were praiseworthy, there were a few that were remarkable in all aspects. Hence, now that we are creating great cinematic experiences for the audiences, its only fair that we showcase our work to the rest of the world too. Luckily, the perfect opportunity has been introduced by Pakistan Mission to The United Nations in the form of a film festival, being held in New York.

The festival will be the first to be held outside Pakistan and is all set to screen the top of the line Pakistani motion pictures. The two-day Pakistan Film Festival will happen at the prestigious Asia Society on the 3rd and 4th of December.
