Of all the worldwide events that emphasise the role of storytelling in modern society, film festivals are perhaps the most impactful. After all, they do more than just highlight feel-good flicks or offer sneak peeks of upcoming blockbusters – they provide a platform to new and diverse filmmakers, honour creatives for their hard work and well-crafted stories, and remind audiences of the need for equality and representation in entertainment. Film has a powerful way of touching hearts and shifting perceptions, and nowhere is that on better display than at the world’s biggest festivals. One such festival showcasing Pakistani film industry’s talent is being held at the Pakistan Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. The week-long festival is set to screen 11 films at the festival. The official announcement reads as, “The Pakistan Pavilion presents Pakistan Film Week! Join us every Friday and Saturday, 6pm onwards at the Multipurpose Room for a screening where we will showcase films with contrast genres that have made Pakistani cinema one to keep an eye out for!”
