Final Year Project

Project Title

Thanda Gosht

Description

My project will showcase the impact of how necrophilia is labelled in Pakistani society and what kind of effects it leaves on to the people who suffer. Final outcome of the design research project will take the form of a short film based on necrophilia, name of the film is adapted from Manto’s famous short story ‘Thanda Gosht’. Cases of dead bodies being raped have been rising continuously, however, this specific short film is inspired by the most recent case in Sukkur. Design research I was about working on a dissertation topic while design research II gave a pathway to move towards the final product. Another reason for doing this specific topic is because of the silence seen by Pakistani media & misunderstanding of the crime itself. (Group Project)
