This
year’s festival will showcase selected 82 films from 28 Countries,
including several films by young Pakistani film makers. These films
have been selected from a total of 1,100 film entries from 67

call The Little Art made for international film entries in March
2016.

this year’s festival consisted of known

The
film programming has been carefully curated keeping in mind the young
audience largely comprised of school children from different
backgrounds. As part of the festival The Little Art announced it’s
national film making competition “Once Upon a Film” inviting
young local film makers to send in their short films and to showcase
themselves at the Lahore/Karachi/Islamabad International Children’s
Film Festival. The competition is open till the 30th
of September and is accepting entries from children and young people
for short films under 5 mins. The winning entries will be awarded a
cash prize of Rs. 5000 and mentorship by The Little Art to work on
future film projects.
In
summers this year, as part of the festival’s film education
program, The Little Art conducted its LICFF film making workshops
with a group of children in collaboration with CKU. The group worked
closely with trainers to develop their original short films which
will be showcased at the festival events.
