About PASC

Pakistan’s official International Feature Film selection body.

PASC is the Academy-recognized body responsible for selecting Pakistan’s official submission to the International Feature Film Award.

Purpose

The Pakistan Academy Selection Committee organizes Pakistan’s annual selection process for one eligible film to be submitted to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for consideration in the International Feature Film category.

The Committee seeks to recognize films that reflect the artistic excellence, diversity, complexity, innovation, and vitality of Pakistani stories and storytellers.
