The Pakistan Film Society is set to host an intimate film screening of the acclaimed Iranian film Children of Heaven (1997) directed by Majid Majidi, in both Lahore and Islamabad on April 12.
As part of its upcoming programme, the society will present the movie alongside a guided discussion, offering attendees the opportunity to exchange perspectives and connect with fellow cinephiles.
The movie follows the story of nine-year-old Ali, who loses the only pair of shoes belonging to his younger sister, Zahra, while running errands. Rather than telling their parents, the siblings devise a plan to share Ali’s trainers. Through the poignant narrative, Majidi explores themes of resilience, poverty, and the quiet strength of sibling bonds.
