The Pakistan International Film Festival (PIFF) aims to be the largest film festival in Pakistan. PIFF will screen features, short, and documentaries from Pakistan and around the world. Our mission is to create a unique platform which promotes both Pakistani cinema and Pakistani filmmakers by showcasing their films to diverse international audiences.
We also plan to bring international filmmakers and their work to Pakistan to create an interactive space for the exchange of ideas and for open dialogue. PIFF will provide opportunities to encourage co-productions and to portray Pakistan as an exciting and vibrant country, with great cinematic potential.

The Festival requires that all projects be submitted via a password-protected streaming URL link. Please prepare this link in advance of beginning your online project entry form. Links must remain active and accessible during the submission period.
