Three Drops of Blood, a Shaanxi Chinese folk opera cartoon series, which will be aired on PTV World from Saturday, was officially launched at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) on Friday evening.
Short clips of the animated series were shown at the ceremony jointly organised by the PNCA and Pakistan Television (PTV).
The programme began by observing a minute’s silence in memory of iconic artist Jamil Naqsh, who passed away in London two days ago. Some images of his works and of the late artist were played in the background.
“He was someone who combined skill and imagination in a beautiful manner. He had his own way of expressing ideas through display of remarkable level of skills. We respect him and will miss his presence and contributions and cherish his work always,” said PNCA Director General Jamal Shah. He also announced that a reference would be held for the late artist on May 21.
