Lahore Film Festival
These short films are a part of “Equality loud” project launched by The Little Art whereby young people in vulnerable, low-income communities are able to express and share their experience through films, transforming the narrative of Pakistani women and girls from a purely rights-based discussion to a more personal and impactful dialogue.
5-day filmmaking workshops were held in 10 schools and 5 universities in Lahore and Faisalabad, designed to explore gender experiences of children as well as equip them with basic filmmaking skills.
