American Film Showcase’s second phase concludes in Pakistan

ISLAMABAD: The second phase of American Film Showcase (AFS) 2023 aimed at fostering arts and strengthen people-to-people ties has successfully culminated in Pakistan.

The AFS 2023 Pakistan, a US supported program, showcased the films and documentaries in this month that not only resonated with the film aficionados but also encouraged a healthy dialogue about gender equality, creative passion, television history, and challenging societal norms.

The AFS brings American filmmakers to different countries for workshops, discussions, and capacity building.  This program strengthens people-to-people ties and helps reach communities we might not often reach. 

Completing its first phase in Karachi, Lahore, and Faisalabad, the AFS 2023 journey continued its momentum in Gilgit-Baltistan. 

In Gilgit-Baltistan, the films such as ‘Picture a Scientist,’ ‘Lily Topples the World,’ ‘Street Gang: How We Got To Sesame Street,’ and ‘The Missfits’ were showcased at different events.
