This year&#8217;s show is scheduled to take place at the glamorous Madinat Jumeirah venue, Dubai, on November 5, 2021.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m delighted to confirm that the second edition of PISA will be held in Dubai on November 5, 2021, immediately after the UAE opens up to tourism,&#8221; Faisal Khan, CEO Mesmerize Events and Founder of the Pakistan International Screen Awards, said in a press statement. &#8220;We intend to make PISA an annual event, honouring our commitment to celebrating Pakistan\u2019s top talent on an international platform.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter size-large wp-image-76588\" src=\"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/images\/2021\/08\/3358ce5e-ce4e-4cfe-9ada-6bfb76ae084a-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The platform was created last year, with a show that was underlined by controversy. Despite being very high profile, pulling all ropes from star power to a globally recognised venue (Coca Cola Arena), the event and experience fell prey to mismanagement and disorganisation. Organisers and the PISA PR machinery put it down to first-time teething problems, that they vow to amend this year round. Certainly not demotivated after the back-lash PISA&#8217;20 received, the organisers say that wish to improve and build a platform that is worthy of Pakistan&#8217;s talent.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This past one year has been extremely challenging for the artist community and entertainment industries across the world, including Pakistan, who have been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic. We will be hosting a grand show, dedicated to those who worked tirelessly through this time, and we hope to set a tradition that will only elevate Pakistan further,&#8221; Faisal Khan stated further.<\/p>\n<p>He assured that PISA&#8217;21 would be organised in strict adherence to Covid SOPs.<\/p>\n<p>Read More: <a title=\"A look back at what we loved about Pakistan International Screen Awards 2020\" href=\"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/a-look-back-at-what-we-loved-about-pakistan-international-screen-awards-2020\/\">A look back at what we loved about Pakistan International Screen Awards 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ne more details on this year&#8217;s show have yet been released but information on the jury, nominees and performances plus star acts are expected to be rolled out over the next two months, sources say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This year&#8217;s show is scheduled to take place at the stunning Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, on November 5, 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":23533,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39,214],"tags":[605],"class_list":["post-23532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment","category-featured","tag-pisapisa-2021"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=23532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/23533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=23532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=23532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/test.somethinghaute.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=23532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
