The Department of Film and Television at the
National College of Arts, Lahore has made
considerable strides since its inception in 2005. Over
the past decade and a half, we as an institution have
honed our craft and expanded our horizons as we
continue to educate successive batches in the art
of filmmaking from both a traditional and modern
perspective. With the aid of our qualified faculty
and the progressive technological advancement of
our technical equipment, we are able to properly
prepare our students for a global, contemporary
filmmaking landscape.
In addition to the immortal art of storytelling and
an in-depth look into the theoretical aspect of film,
the Department of Film and Television also trains its
students in vocational crafts- such as camera-work,
non-linear editing, visual effects, sound design and
so much more. In prioritising creative expression,
the Department has, since its foundation, stemmed
into more contemporary forms of media- with
modules in Video Art and Experimental Cinema. All
the while still offering courses for those that wish to
enter the practical world of media through modules
in Television Commercial Direction and Music Video
Production.
With proud alumni working on everything
from Pakistan’s latest cinematic features to the
advertisements on your televisions; from the
festivals of Europe to the music videos on your
phone screen, the department has come a long way
and intends to continue altering the landscape of
modern Pakistani cinema.
