Скачать или смотреть Bashir Malik | Director & Cameraman | Inside Lollywood | Rise & Decline of an Industry

This interview features Bashir Malik, a veteran cameraman and director from Lahore’s film industry, Lollywood.

Beginning his journey in the 1980s, Bashir Malik entered cinema through the camera department, working first as a trainee and assistant before gradually taking on full responsibility on set. In this conversation, he reflects on learning behind the camera, guiding artists, shooting outdoor films, and the moment he was first trusted to take shots himself.

He speaks about working with major figures of Pakistani cinema, the discipline and intensity of studio life, and the informal ways knowledge was passed from one generation to the next. Alongside personal memories, he also reflects on the rise of Lollywood, the long working nights, busy studios, and then its gradual decline—empty spaces, disappearing production culture, and the loss of everyday activity.

The interview ends with a quiet but powerful hope: that skilled, sincere people may return, and that the industry might once again find its way toward life and dignity.
