BRINGING THE WORLD TO PAKISTAN

”It feels good to win the hearts of nearly 42,000 children and youth with world’s best films in 2015 Karachi and Lahore International Children’s Film Festivals. Share the joy with us!”

We are very excited to complete our Festival Season 2014, through which we presented some of the best films for children and young people at the cinemas in Karachi and Lahore, a true celebration of some of the best films made for and by children and young people from around the world.

Let’s entertain, inspire and educate!

We presented 169 films from 45 countries

The world responded to our submission call, we had 1160 films from 66 countries.
We presented a range of films, that included all genres like animation, fiction, short and feature films, documentaries and specially some made by children themselves and even a special selection of films made by young children of Pakistan.
This gave a chance to our emerging young filmmakers to express their views and promote themselves as young artists.

IN CINEMA

”We were very excited to organize the Festival at the Cinepax Cinemas in Karachi and Lahore this year, bringing high-quality viewing experience to our young audience. ”

Over the past six years working on the Film Festival, We are amazed to see the children respond to the films and potential for developing the festival further.
A media literacy program is in place especially for under-privileged children and young people living in community shelter homes and from public schools.
We have developed an arts education integration program using film and new media for teachers, which focuses on how to use film in classroom setting to engage children for active learning.
We are also conducting workshops in film-making and digital storytelling with children, the first of its kind in Pakistan to introduce the creative media to children to express and share.

AUDIENCE

Audiences kept coming in greater numbers. The response to the 6-day Lahore International Film Festival was so great that we were completely sold out before the festival began and the audience demanded to extend the festival for another 6 days. And so we did!
What made us feel a sense of achievement is that our audience included children from all kinds of socio-economic backgrounds. Excited, smiling faces flooded in from not only public and private schools but also orphanages, community and foundations schools.
The Festival has grown up, as so many children who have been attending it since last six years. We look forward to many more years to come.

INTER SCHOOL NATIONAL FILM COMPETITION

The Little Art invited children from all over Pakistan to participate in the first inter-schools “National Filmmaking Competition 2014”.
Through this competition, we gave students, young and teens an opportunity to showcase their talent in an International Festival and earn recognition for them while representing their schools.
We received a total of 24 films from cities across Pakistan made by young children and we selected the best of the submitted films to feature at the Lahore International Children’s Film Festival this year. The selected teams were also given mentoring support through a Film Making workshop by The Little Art where they were given trainings on aesthetics and producing quality films.
