Pakistani Documentary Oscars

Pakistani police are hunting a 29-year-old man who shot his two sisters dead in a suspected dishonour killing, officials said today, two days after a Pakistani filmmaker won an Oscar for a documentary on such murders.

A Girl in the River: The Price of Forgiveness is based on the story of Saba, a survivor of an attempted honour killing who was beaten, shot and thrown into a river after she eloped with her lover. At the last moment, she tilted her head as a bullet grazed her cheek instead of shattering her skull

Emmy Award-winning Indian director Geeta Gandbhir and Oscar-winner Pakistani filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's new documentary "A Journey of a Thousand Miles: Peacekeepers" will be showcased at Jio Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI) 17th Mumbai Film Festival.

Saving Face, the acclaimed Pakistani movie on victims of acid attacks, has won the best documentary prize at the 2012 SAARC Film Awards.

Pakistani documentary film "Saving Face", which uncovers the story of hundreds of people, mostly women who become acid attack victims, was honoured with the Oscar award for best documentary (short) at the 84th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles.

A Pakistani filmmaker has been nominated for an Oscar for the first time in the event's history for this year's Academy Awards.
