ABOUT / RESEARCH
Lollywood Resource is an artist-led research platform exploring the film culture of Lahore through interviews, gatherings, films, and studio sites. Working beyond formal archives, it engages with memory, labor, and lived experience as ongoing and unfinished histories.
Initiated by artist Basir Mahmood, the platform remains open-ended, evolving, and rooted in long-term engagement with Lahore’s film industry.
Interviews are conducted by Lollywood Resource as a primary research method, generating labor histories and production knowledge that circulate beyond formal archival frameworks.
Much of Lollywood’s history exists outside official archives and continues to circulate through informal practices, memories, and living traces.
Lollywood films span several decades, reflecting an extensive and shifting film culture shaped by changing social, economic, and production conditions.
INTERVIEWS / ORAL HISTORIES
LOLLYWOOD FILMS
The recent demolition of parts of Bari Studio in Lahore marks the most recent moment, making it necessary to generate alternative spaces for practice, memory, and exchange.
STUDIOS & SURROUNDINGS
The Gatherings are organized as informal research meetings, generating space for exchange, collective memory, and community among individuals connected to Lahore’s film industry.
GATHERINGS
Lollywood Resource also functions as a research space, accumulating fragments, names, roles, and production cultures that operate beyond institutional support.
