Two-time Academy Award and four-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy announced the launch of Patakha Pictures; a grant which will provide funding and mentorship to the next generation of emerging women filmmakers and storytellers working on powerful, thought-provoking works of fiction and non-fiction.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram, she announced the idea behind the platform.<\/p>\n

“Telling stories that matter is important to me and I also know how hard it is to find the finances and mentorship to do so. At SOC Films we routinely get emails, calls and visits from young women across Pakistan who want to be able to tell their stories,” she shared.<\/p>\n
