Based in Toronto, CITYLIGHTS MEDIA is a production company specializing in innovative and socially-driven content. We are deeply interested in creating cinema that amplifies marginalized voices and explores life at the peripheries and transgressive spaces in Pakistan and the world.

Our upcoming feature film, IN FLAMES, is the first Pakistani project to be selected at the Berlinale Talent Project Market. It was featured at the Frontières Buyers Showcase at Marche du Cannes. The film was awarded the MPA-AFA First Prize Pitch Award at Busan FF, and has received development support from Telefilm Canada, Canada Arts Council and the Canadian Film Centre. Our team’s work has premiered at world-class festivals, such as Toronto, Locarno, BFI London, Busan, Hot Docs, IDFA, and Clermont-Ferrand, and has seen digital distribution on VICE Media, Zee5, Amazon Prime Video, and YouTube in Canada, United States, India and around the world
