Two-time Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy hosted an event in Karachi marking the conclusion of Patakha Pictures’ third and largest program, titled ‘Stories from Southern Pakistan’. Short clips of all ten films, made by the 19 female filmmakers in the program, and were shown to the audience amidst great applause. The subjects of all films came from places of personal interest of the filmmakers, whether it was a film on women who have reclaimed public spaces, of a girl who decides to train in martial arts for self-defense, stories of cross dressers and survival of trans people, the threat to artists and sculptors or even something as personal as an ode to an exceptional teacher. The project facilitated women to produce impactful documentaries that not only push boundaries but also start conversations on topics that are seldom discussed. While the event provided a platform for fellows to engage in discussions about their projects and the creative process that went into their films, renowned actors such as Samina Ahmed, Iqra Aziz, Ayesha Omar, Momal Sheikh, Hira Tareen and Ali Safina also shared their valuable insights with the participants.
