Slackistan didn’t get a release in Pakistan as the local censor body refused it distribution license
The digital film did raise considerable attention amongst knowing circles, courtesy of an unimpressive trailer online and a much publicized claim that Slackistan has been refused a public exhibition by the Censor Board of Film Censors (Cbfc) on grounds of scenes involving objectionable language and consumption of alcohol.
Slacker: i: a person who shuns or avoids work or other obligations;
ii: a person who avoids military service;
iii: or an educated person who is antimaterialistic, purposeless, apathetic and usually works in a dead-end job.
The beginning of Richard Linklater’s seminal feature debut Slacker offered a clear denotation of its title. The film showcased all the variants on the meaning of the word inherently attached with the spirit (or therefore lack of) of Generation X and subsequently launched a luminous career for Linklater.

Reviewed at the 2010 Abu Dhabi Film Festival.
"Slackistan," the first feature from Hammad Khan, belongs to that familiar breed of film about life as someone young, aimless and under- or unemployed, with too much time to fill in the company of funny friends -- think "Reality Bites," or "Swingers" (a film given more than one tip of the hat here), or "Kicking and Screaming," or countless others. What sets "Slackistan" apart from the pack is the fact that it's centered in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan and "the city that always sleeps," according to our hero and sometimes narrator Hasan (Shahbaz Hamid Shigri), a would-be filmmaker who's managed to obtain an Hdv camera but has so far left it sitting in its box.
The post-collegiate twentysomethings in "Slackistan" are wealthy, and there's no question in the movie that their standard issue quarterlife issues about identity, how to get started on...
