Ilma University made its mark again by organizing an out of the box workshop of Documentary Making. Faculty of Media & Design took this initiative to invite an award-winning filmmaker Ms Haya Fatima. This renowned filmmaker has an Academy and two time Emmy awards to her notable credit. She has a diversified range of subjects that she has artfully filmed over her celebrated tenure.

Her exceptional work has been featured in HBO, BBC, Al-Jazeera, National Geographic, CNN and Thomas Reuters Foundation international media channels. Ilma University understood the true value of this vast and varied domain of media for its students to tread on this creative path towards a successful career. This stimulating session was also quite productive to meet the SDGs # 8 – Decent Work & Economic Growth & # 9 – Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure.

As Ms Haya stated, “Documentary making flourishes as the unconventional channels of media gain ground to shoot and visualise the world around them as a whole.”

The documentary making workshop was indeed brimming with ideas and inspiration which the students were highly impressed by and saw this as another lucrative as well as a popular profession to pursue. Ilma University is indeed ahead of the game in introducing novel fields to expand the horizon of opportunities for its students nationally and internationally.
