In order to gain the attention of the common people and get them unified and rejuvenate amongst them feelings of patriotism the National Flag Movement was started on 13 May 2009.

orphan date March 2011 Pakistan New Cinema Movement was launched initially in 2009 as a Facebook group by British film Director Steven Moore, whilst working on the production of the feature film Tamanna in Lahore. The group was set up in recognition of, and as encouragement towards, a new era of independent cinema production in Pakistan. PNCM recognizes and promotes the importance of film as a medium of education, cultural exchange and feedback as well as entertainment. It operates as a focus point for historical research on the industry formally known as Lollywood, as a think tank for formulation of strategies for revamping Pakistan s cinematic output, renewing it s importance in the region and to organize resources for independent filmmakers. As of 2010 there is virtually no industry left in Pakistan, after several decades of decline and neglect. The situation is complex in terms of an actual strategy for renewal, and whilst PNCM is not specific in terms of a promoting third way or parallel cinema exclusively there is clearly only one route possible towards a specific national cinema, through independent filmmaking. Sarah Tareen, a film and television producer and founder member of PNCM has written several articles summarizing the situation in the Pakistani English Language press.
