The futuristic courtroom drama, Time Sentence was screened at the Karachi Press Club. A large

number of attendees were present at the event. The film takes up the subject of the growing trend

of artificial intelligence in a unique way. The film deals with the concepts of technology, law,

justice, science fiction and human emotions.

The short film Time Sentence, set in the distant future, is a science fiction courtroom drama,

where an artificial intelligence-driven judge is hearing the case of an accused, who is a time

traveler.

The former Justice of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, an outspoken human rights activist, Retired

Justice Wajihauddin Ahmed appreciated the innovatively creative effort of the film team. He

said, "This film will leave a deep impact on the minds of audiences at the national and

international level. It's a tragic story."

Noted intellectual and political analyst, Saeed Khawar addressed the audience, "There are

serious hidden messages in the film. Such bold story-telling is missing in Pakistan''.

The film's director, Khalid Hasan Khan, said, "Technology is an extension of human habits." The

film explores the premise, how technology brings its own implicit laws and society fails to catch

up with its evolutionary development".

The story of this film, written by the famous poet Zulfiqar Adil, is about justice, human dreams

and unbridled usage of artificial intelligence; its disappointing implications for humanity that are

caused by the excessive indulgence in AI.

The cast of the film includes Shamim Shirazi, Dara Shikoh Hashmi, Syed Muaz Shah, Rafat

Jabeen, Talal Farhat and Mohammad Ali. Imran Sheikh and Syed Ovais Ali are the executive

producers of this short film. The filmmaker of Time Sentence, Khalid Hasan Khan, is a
