Filmmaker Saim Sadiq has created a memorable moment in history as his feature film Joyland<\/em> became the first Pakistani film to make the official selection at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. The filmmaker recently attended the fest with his team and Pakistanis are gushing praises about the extraordinary feat.<\/p>\n

We are still eagerly waiting for the film to screen locally with hopes and prayers that it doesn’t get stuck in the rut of censorships and bans. However, Joyland<\/em> has already won over hearts and souls at an international stage. The feature received a 10-minute-long standing ovation after its premiere on Monday at the Cannes Film Festival. The film has blown away the global audience and has been receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews since yesterday.<\/p>\n

Videos from the evening are circulating on social media where Sadiq along with the cast of the movie proudly received a prolonged standing ovation from the audience after the feature ended. One of the clips also showed that the young filmmaker and his team members got teary-eyed while receiving felicitations.<\/p>\n
