Rūng Film Fest aims to create a platform that elevates voices often overlooked in mainstream cinema—creatives of color, by showcasing and awarding original stories told through the lens of Pakistani filmmakers that shatter stereotypes and challenge biases, promoting diversity and cultivating connections with the global creative community.
We’ve received more than 80 films in our inaugural year from filmmakers of Pakistani heritage from around the world and we’re excited to showcase the top selections by our jury of stellar actors, writers and filmmakers.
Grand Jury, Audience Choice, and Honorary awards will be distributed to the top 3 films in each category on May 4th and 5th at the awards ceremony in the evening.
Rūng Film Fest is an Indus Arts Council program. Indus Arts Council is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization registered in Texas.Read more
