Vasakh Documentary Film Festival
Vasakh Documentary Film Festival is a platform that uses the didactic tool of documentary filmmaking to engage and interact with the youth on issues prominent in our modern society, as well as present an alternative outlook of Pakistan that the mass media is unable to represent.
Vasakh Film Festival showcases local and foreign documentary films on themes including but not limited to themes such as human rights, equal citizenship, gender equality and religious tolerance. It also provides an opportunity to the aspiring documentary filmmakers to exclusively showcase their work, and network with their contemporary filmmakers from around the world.
IRC organized the first edition of the Vasakh Documentary Film Festival in 2008. Over the last thirteen years, Vasakh has been successful in establishing itself as a safe space where critical thinking, voicing opinion and engaging through dialogue is encouraged for the promotion of a sensitized and critical mass of youth.
