FILUMS - International Film Festival, hosted annually by the LUMS Media Arts Society (LMA), is one of the largest film festivals in Pakistan. FILUMS has evolved to become a benchmark in the filmmaking industry, also crediting itself to be the largest film festival in South Asia and is on its way to becoming an independent nation-wide event. This mega event provides a platform for independent filmmakers from around the globe to come and showcase their film expertise. At FILUMS, the passion of films and the art of making them is celebrated, attended by people whose proficiency in this area is vast – including, but not limited to, renowned and capable producers, directors, actors, and camera operators. The media coverage, celebrity attention and foreign participation FILUMS receives is testament to the festival’s success and current standing. Despite its accomplishments, with every passing year, FILUMS aims to grow more, and surpass the success of the previous years in all aspects – media coverage, workshops, and audiences.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submissions at FILUMS are open in 7 categories this year, namely Shorts, Feature Films, Documentary - Short, Documentary - Long, Music Video, and Animation. A new addition to our traditional categories is the introduction of Student entries in the category: Rising Youth Films.
There are two stages of scrutiny before the films received at the festival can claim awards. Each entry is initially examined to be shortlisted among the best entries which are screened at the festival. These selected films are then forwarded to an external jury specially formulated for each category, and the final awards are given on the basis of the judgment given by the judges who are experienced, well-acclaimed, and considered to be the best authority in their respective fields.
One of the most important components of FILUMS is the workshops that are conducted by qualified professionals, many of whom have achieved a celebrity status. Such celebrities not only recount their learning experiences but also offer invaluable assistance in the form of well-seasoned advice. Workshops previously held at FILUMS have included a wide variety of topics, ranging from pre-production, post-production, film marketing to biographical accounts of members of the Pakistani Film Industry. We hope that such interactions will help several budding filmmakers and artists get access to bright opportunities in media and entertainment, while enabling others to find a direction to hone their creativity and skills.
Works premiered at FILUMS have gone on to earn special recognition such as ‘Seedlings’, which won the best film award at the NYC Film Festival, ‘Sapola’, a film made by Aleem Bukhari which has won the best foreign film award at the Lisbon International Film Festival, ‘Children of the Taliban’, ‘Like A Good Kid’, ‘Made in Pakistan’, ‘Kashf’, ‘Zibahkhana’, ‘Shanu’, ‘Taxi’, ‘Zindah Lash’, and many others.
Imagine a film you created being played in the esteemed halls of Lahore’s cultural district in an event that collaborates with Lahore’s own Art council and is attended by the very best in the field.
FILUMS continues to expand its horizons with each passing year. Its journey spans from a small initiative 12 years ago, with around 50 regional participants, to an international platform of its current standing, with a record number of entries (more than 250 international and 500 national) in initial years and a total of over 300 entries in last year alone. Each year, the talent and creativity presented at FILUMS far exceeds that of previous years, and it is with such a pace that this nascent film festival is progressing towards its aim of becoming the central hub of a cinematic revival in Pakistan and abroad.
This year FILUMS will be hosting 3 categories on the LUMS Campus to promote local filmmakers, and the nature of the event being held locally will induce nationwide participation, bringing diversity and a cultural kaleidoscope of genres and films.
The purpose of the festival refers to awareness of both the external filters on the screen, including censorship (commercial, ideological, aesthetic), and the internal filters of screen perception and projection, including self-censorship. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is an exploration of aestheticization and commodification in art. The next aim of the festival is to expose the complexity, manysidedness, and variety of filmmaking.
NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is a film festival that is held by the Short Movie Club, the platform for cinematic projects. NEFILTRAVANAE KINO is ADAMI Media Prize qualified festival. The International Film Studies Conference is held at the same time as the film festival. In this way, film theory and practice are integrated together at the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO.
Originally the festival was held in Belarus, but because of political repression and publicly stated anti-war stance, screenings and events can be held in different countries. First of all in Lithuania (Vilnius). For example, the 10th Nefiltravanae Kino took place in Berlin, Vilnius and Helsinki last year. There were selected 63 films for 12 film programmes. https://shortmovie.club/programmes/10-2024/
The concept of the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO (Unfiltered Cinema):
ALIENATION PROBLEM
We live in a world of malls and cinema multiplexes. We see that indie cinema and non-commodity art go to the periphery of public attention. Primitive attractions replace the cinematography. The escape audience is alienated behind the big screen. So modern mainstream cinema is part of a manipulating tool that leads to the society of alienation. Thus the tendency is that indie cinema becomes more unreadable for the wide audience. We should understand the context of the filmmaker to understand the independent cinema. That is why the NEFILTRAVANAE KINO concept implies the physical presence of filmmakers.
FILM SELECTION PROBLEM
Filmmakers shoot millions of movies. And thousands of short film festivals organize screenings all over the world every year. On average, several thousand films are submitted to a film festival. So various good films can be neglected for whatever reason. Often selecting probability is like winning a lottery. As a result, filmmakers are left with no feedback. It is a paradox that no one can hear you in the age of the Internet! The mainstream culture prefers attractions and casual viewing.
Also, this idea is based on the film selection problem. Perhaps it’s no surprise one person, i.e. programme director at best, or even students of film schools make a preliminary decision to select a movie. Сoncordance of judges or previewers is more seldom thing than the difference of background, tastes. So selection or judging can be one-sided or perfunctory. It is not bad as the programme director has a good taste and aesthetic sensitivity, of course. But we’ve discovered another conception of “unfiltered cinema”. We matched it against “the best of the best” way. This way aids to perceive cinematic idiom without the dictate of art-curators.
CELEBRATION OF INDIE CINEMA
So the Unfiltered Cinema Film Festival tries to avoid “the best of the best” way but it does not ignore it completely, sure. The festival selects fiction, animation, documentary, experimental and virtual reality sections. A jury awards the best film in every section. The festival holds the screenings at cinema theatres, the National Centre for Contemporary Arts, and art-spaces.
Our aim is to gather people in art, to have a dialogue to be happy with smart communication. Cinema is art but not sport. The key point of our project is to establish communication between the filmmaker and the audience.
