National Amateur Short Film Festival Awards

The Prime Minister Imran Khan urged the youth to explore new avenues in different fields of life and try something new instead copying ’ the trodden path’, adding the new starters in the film making must explore the vast variety and rich diversity of climate, culture and civilization of the motherland.

Addressing the first National Amateur Short Film Festival Awards (NASFF) ceremony here at the Pak-China Friendship Center, he stressed upon the young film makers to concentrate upon production of original stuff as the world always bought the contents based upon reality.

Fifteen winners would get scholarships for studying in advance media techniques in the University of California, US.
