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.
