This has been a long time coming...It is time to pay it forward and I am so proud of the work @patakha_pictures is doing! Meet our first cohort of grantees and the team which mentored them Patakha Pictures, in collaboration with the @britishcouncilpakistan and the @scottishdocinstitute, came together recently to mark the completion of its first-ever funding & mentorship grant, 'Pakistan Stories'. To celebrate the journey of the 10 grantees, SOC Films produced a short film to show how the mentorship process has helped these female filmmakers to produce their films over the past few months. #PakistanStories seeks to support a new generation of female Pakistani documentary filmmakers to enable them to create engaging films that reflect on their society, and Pakistan’s 75 years of independence. #PKUKCelebrating75 #NewPerspectives #patakhapictures #womenincinema #womenbehindthelens #femalefilmmakers #sharmeenobaidchinoy #pakistanstories #storiesthatmatter
