Naeema Butt Instagram – I attended the Islamabad Film Festival here in Istanbul… my first solo deployment for @trtworld and my first time covering a film festival. I had the chance to speak with some incredible artists and storytellers from Pakistan’s entertainment sector, as well as Turkish content creators who are pushing for greater collaboration.
Thank you @naeemabutt @alyykhanofficial @iamhassaanimtiaz @noorulhassanmuhammad @turkanpk for the opportunity to interview you.
The big question: can Pakistan’s cinema step out from under Bollywood’s shadow? Pakistani entertainers say it’s time to explore new avenues for growth and collaboration, something that allows them to look beyond Bollywood.
Huge thanks to @suad.fazlic for shooting this story and for sticking with me throughout the process. | Posted on 29/Apr/2025 01:09:53
