The Painterist
Official Selection 2022

The Painterist is a short film from Pakistan that has been selected to be screened among other international and domestic entries.

The word,' Painterist' was coined for this short film; its title is often mistaken as "Paint" although it is "Pain".

This fictional biopic story is about the life of a fine artist, whose name was Shahid. Being an unknown painter, he had been selling his artwork to a dilettante lady, Tanya, for a fistful of money. One day he comes to know, he was selling his soul!

Intellectual piracy is the motive of this avant-garde movie.

"The Painterist" acknowledges and appreciates the artistic ardour of those creators who have been ripped off by art-stealing, credit-hijackers in this bandit territory, but their passion is untouchable.

Director Statement
The Painterist is a short experimental film dealing with a theme, which is an unfortunate reality in today's world; of depriving an author, artist or broadly speaking, the creator from his or her credit and compensation or both, by stealing his or her work.
