Islamabad will soon have a state-of-the-art film academy, the National Film Production Institute (NFPI), which was recently approved by the Ministry of Planning Development.
The NFPI will be established at the PTV Academy in sector H-9 and will feature a digital and state-of-the-art studio complex with facilities for pre and post-production for the local film industry, as well as a film institute.
The project, which aims to provide professional training in various fields of filmmaking, acting, production, camera and cinematography for local film production, is being executed under the Public Sector Development Program PSDP with a budget of Rs400 million.
The primary objective of the NFPI is to save film production time and cost, increase the number of films produced in the country, promote quality content creation, and establish linkages with international sister organisations.
