The prestigious PAIFMA academy met in Shanghai, China, to discuss the upcoming awards ceremony that will be inaugurated in London next year. About his associating with PAIFMA, Abbas Hasan says: “Cinema and art have no boundaries, and we as artists operate as gypsies in a universe of ideas where borders don’t exist. I am honoured to be associated with PAIFMA for their vision which is all about using the arts to promote peace, harmony and artistic excellence.”

The inaugural Pan-Asian International Film and Music Awards are due to be held next year in London. They will be uniting not only icons of Indian and Pakistani cinema but also of the fields of music and fashion from across Asia and even Europe and North America. The awards were envisioned as a highly prestigious platform to internationally recognise and celebrate the common cultural thread that exists beyond the national boundaries and within the hearts and minds of people across Asia. The team behind the awards believe that the films, the stories, the cultural artforms and the artists themselves are something to be celebrated beyond national boundaries and to be cherished and adored by people around the world.
