T# J-, (.UC AJA ~-1Dwrtot/ Texas Arcllllel'I J11/\'·A111wrt /984 5 LETTERS EDITOR: Three cheers for your article on public transportation in Texas. I was mighty impressed with the piece, which did an excellent job of summarizing where we are in Texas, as well as hap­ pening elsewhere in the country. As a member of the Austin Area Rapid Transit Authority interim board, I obvi­ ously have a bias. Nevertheless, I am firmly convinced that Texans are, indeed, willing to leave their cars behind if they are provided with a public transportation system that will get them where they want to go in a reasonable amount of time at a reasonable cost. The challenge to organi­ zations such as mine is to develop this service. Al the same time, we must be aware pf the impact public transit has on land use development and the ascetics of the community. Thank you for an excellent article. Richard H. Paul Member, AARTA Interim Board P.S. I liked your piece on the Austin city hall competition, too! CORRECTION: Two credits in the May/ June story, "The Not So Lowly Parking Garage," were incorrect. The designer of the street level retail shops at the San Antonio Hyatt Regency garage is Barry P. Middleman & Associates, San Antonio; the architects of the garage are Ford, Powell & Carson, San Antonio and Thompson Ventulett and Stainback, Atlanta. The Dallas Galleria garage was designed by the St. Louis office of Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, with associate architects, Kendall/Heaton/ Associates, Dallas. CORRECTION: The major source listed in "Sources For Additional Information On Transit" in the May/June issue, the American Public Transit Association, is now at a different address: 1225 Con­ neticut Ave. N.W., Suite 200, Washington, D.C. 20036.

    Trends of Pakistani Films: an Analytical Study of Restoration of Cinema

    Trends of Pakistani films: An analytical study of restoration of cinema Fouzia Naz* Sadia Mehmood** ABSTRACT People prefer to go to the cinema as compared to theaters because of its way of execution and performance. Background music, sound effects, lights, direction attract people, and its demonstrations relate people to their lives. It is true that films have a unique and powerful connection between human behavior and societal culture. Pakistani film industry faced the downfall and now it is doing its best to make the films on international standards. In this research article, the background of Pakistani cinema and causes of downfall will be discussed. The main idea of this research article is to identify and study the development of Pakistani film industry. Qualitative and quantitative data collection will be used as the research method of this research. This research article helps in observing different mass media theory based on Pakistani cinema. Moreover, it will be explained what filmmakers critiques and people say regarding revival or restoration. Keywords: downfall, revival, the impact of the Pakistani film industry, Lollywood *Assistant professor, Mass Communication, University of Karachi) **Assistant professor, Mass Communication, University of Karachi) 33 Jhss, Vol. 8, No. 2 , July to December, 2017 The definition of cinema can be explained as “another word of moving a picture”1This is the place where films are shown to the public. Most of the people who are not into the arts get confused in cinema and theater. The theater is the building where live performance is performed2. The similarity between cinema and theaters are both of them execute act and created for public entertainment.
