Celebrate International Youth Day at the Lahore library as we watch two BAFTA 2024 nominated short films titled “Crab Day” and “Gorka”. 

Join us as we explore the themes of coming of age and adolescence through the lens of these films. 

Synopsis of Crab Day: As part of a fishing community’s annual ritual, a young boy must catch his first crab in order to become a man and gain his father’s approval.
