#shehr e tabassum

[art-the-f-up]

In the light of current world events, and after watching a video that explained how, if you DON'T feel like wanting to smash your head somewhere or scream into oblivion it means you're mind hasn't been revolutionized yet, I want to present this animated short film by Pakistan which speaks to me so much. Even though this film is about internal conflicts, the messages and indications are so universal and I urge everyone to take out a few minutes and watch it.

The seed of resisting a system that makes you think it's for your benefit but is just profiting off of your basic rights is so so important, now more than ever. I feel like we're on the brink of something big and something important. Please don't let that flame die.

Shehr e Tabassum (short science fiction film: in full).

In short animated science fiction film Shehr e Tabassum, by Arafat Mazhar, we visit a dystopian far-future Pakistan, where an era of so-called peace, prosperity, and stability has arrived after a long civil war. The cost for this new found peace: constant surveillance and a world in which the only expression citizens are allowed is a smile. Welcome to Shehr e Tabassum.

PAKISTANI ANIMATED SHORT FILMS

‘Swipe’ - a Pakistani animated short. A young boy addicted to iFatwa, an app that crowdsources religious death sentences, spends his days swiping on the lives of strangers as he attempts to get a top spot on the Ajar Board.

It is the year 2071. There have been no reported instances of terrorism or violent crime in over 3 decades in Pakistan. The cost - the systematic subjugation of human emotion. Welcome to Shehr e Tabassum.
