In a major boost to Pakistan’s creative economy, authorities have announced plans to establish a state-of-the-art Film City within the Nawaz Sharif IT City in Lahore, aiming to transform the country’s media and entertainment landscape.
Officials said the project is designed to provide modern production facilities, digital studios, and post-production infrastructure, enabling filmmakers, content creators, and media companies to produce high-quality content locally.
The proposed Film City will feature advanced sound stages, animation and visual effects (VFX) labs, training institutes, and broadcasting facilities, positioning Lahore as a regional hub for film, television, and digital media production.
Authorities noted that the initiative will not only revive Pakistan’s film industry but also attract foreign investment and international collaborations, while creating employment opportunities for artists, technicians, and media professionals.
The project is part of a broader effort to integrate technology and creative industries, leveraging the IT City’s ecosystem to support innovation in storytelling, gaming, and digital content creation.
Industry experts have welcomed the move, saying that access to world-class infrastructure could help Pakistani productions compete on a global scale and expand exports of cultural content.
Further details regarding timelines, investment, and partnerships are expected to be announced in the coming months as planning progresses.
