Documentary Association of Pakistan

Documentary Association of Pakistan (DAP) is an initiative to promote the art of documentary films in Pakistan, to strengthen the community of documentary filmmakers in Pakistan, and to provide mentorship and training to documentary filmmakers working in Pakistan.

DAP is working to popularize the culture of documentary watching in Pakistan by organizing film screenings in public spaces across Pakistan for free. We form collaborations with like-minded partner venues and screen documentary films that are followed by powerful discussions between the filmmaker and our audiences.

DAP also works closely with documentary filmmakers to provide them with networking and training opportunities by organizing filmmaker meet-ups and training workshops. Most documentary filmmakers in Pakistan work independently, and for them to have access to a platform like DAP that aims to bring documentary filmmakers together is very crucial
