Basta
Written and directed by Usama Lali, Basta is a thirty minute short film about three mysterious people who meet in a cafe. Starring Usama Lali, Mujtaba Shah Bukhari and Aqeel Ahmed, the film mostly consists of intense dialogues between the characters and multiple motifs with deeper meaning. Each character wears a distinctly colored shalwar kameez (traditional South Asian Outfit) and carries a basta (bag). The characters represent the idea of time, such as guzra huwa kal (memories of the past) and anay wala kal (what the future holds) and the exchange between them is thought provoking for the audience.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_btn title=”Click here to watch” style=”gradient” gradient_color_1=”pink” gradient_color_2=”juicy-pink” shape=”round” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flumsmediaarts%2Fvideos%2F1863781093646026%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”5653178″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]
PaanchChoohay
This was the flagship film by LMA. Borrowing its title from a famous Sufi Tabassum nursery rhyme, the film shows how innocence is the playground for malice. PaanchChoohay is the story of a single, solitary night in a strange neighborhood. Five friends, having a reunion of sorts, find themselves in the clenches of a city that shows mercy to no one. Bizarre twists of fate, unthinkable coincidences and bouts upon bouts of bad luck meet them as they try to navigate through the eerily animated night life of the city.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_btn title=”Click here to watch” style=”gradient” gradient_color_1=”pink” gradient_color_2=”juicy-pink” shape=”round” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Flumsmediaarts%2Fvideos%2F1480047115352761%2F||target:%20_blank|”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”5653176″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][vc_column_text]
