The Indus Telefilm Festival was a Pakistani film festival held in 2003.[1] The festival showed films that had been filmed the previous year. Seven films were shortlisted for the main competition, the winner of which received a prize of RS 500,000.[2][3]
The event was the first of its kind by the Indus TV Network to promote creativity in storytelling among amateurs as well as professionals, producers and directors. Iqbal Ansari, Director Programmes of Indus TV Network remarked at the conclusion of the Indus Telefilm Festival 2003. "It's up to the director to have the courage to explore various methods. Our objective, which was to encourage diversity of direction and content treatment, was achieved."[4]
