At the 2026 Berlin International Film Festival, Pakistan's animated series 'Super Sohni' gained international recognition, marking a significant achievement for the country in creative storytelling. Out of 3,438 global applicants, only 200 filmmakers were selected, showcasing the competitive nature of the event. 'Super Sohni' is a school-based project aimed at educating children about recognizing and reporting child sexual abuse, produced by SAMAAJ in collaboration with the German Embassy in Islamabad. This recognition comes at a time when the festival is highlighting socially charged narratives, with British director Ashley Walters and Iranian filmmaker Mahnaz Mohammadi also presenting works that delve into themes of vulnerability and political trauma. As noted in the Tribune Home article, 'Against this global backdrop, Pakistan's recognition stood out for its grassroots origins and classroom-first approach.' This underscores the importance of local narratives in a festival dominated by larger issues of incarceration and migration.
