Yell to bring a Social Change through Making Films

60 seconds film festival

Can films bring social change in the society? Yes, films have the potential to bring change socially; people specially youngsters follow and admire what they watch in films. They start implementing what they see in the films.
We all know that there are many films are being produced in current time. But if we look at them from the angle of quality, our eyes come back empty. The best part is everyone can make such types of films. Pick up your cell phone and shoot whatever you like and there are platform that will appreciate and put the common people work infront of the public. There are many issues which need to be highlighted but at the same time if there is somewhat good is happening then it should also be brought in to limelight, show the people and make them realize they can also be a part of something good. It is not about the length but the quality of story and the matter of the film which attracts the audience.
As Kim Cattrall said
 If you stick with a vision, it might not all work, but some of it will be absolute genius. To me, 15 minutes worth of absolute genius in a film is so much better than two hours of mediocrity. I would rather pay to see something different like that.

For this purpose, Morango films take the initiative and conduct a competition of films within Pakistan. The duration of films is of 60 seconds only. Think what you can put forward in just 60 seconds it is not so difficult task because many people have contributed already from all over Pakistan. This festival started on 1st July 2012 and received affectionate response. Due to so much pressure, the organizers extended its deadline to 30th of November 2012. The main purpose of this competition is, first of all, to spread the positivity. Second is to provide a platform to the young producers, filmmakers, and artist from all over Pakistan. This festival not only presents a platform to show case their talent but also has so many incentives to those who participate and win the festival. There is a panel of jury who will judge the participating films. Jury members include Mehreen Jabbar, Sohail Javed, Amena Khan and Amin Matalqa. Not only this the best film will show on social media, different other platforms and most importantly ARY Music will also on air the selected films. Films can be powerful. They let us live someone else’s life. They can help us understand the world from another’s viewpoint. Films have a potential to change the mindset of the people and let them aware of different issues and happenings. Festival Director Abrar Hassan is an innovative, young social entrepreneur who has been using mass media to inspire ownership of Pakistan’s current challenges and future. Through his company, Morango Films, he produces documentaries and public services campaigns that give voice to neglected communities and highlight local-level heroes.

Such initiatives can bring hidden issues to the people, to resolve them and bring social change. We need narratives from people without any color correction.
