Special Presentation: The Glassworker
Directed by Usman Riaz/Mano Animation Studios
“The Glassworker is a wonderful film in its own right, but also deserves to be the first of many animated tales from underrepresented nations.”
— Skwigly Animation Magazine
Without art and music, what do we have in this world full of conflict and war?
OFFICIAL SELECTION: Annecy Festival 2024
From Pakistan’s first hand-drawn animation studio, Mano Animation Studios, and director Usman Riaz comes The Glassworker, a new, stunning, celebrated animated feature film.
A young Vincent and his father Tomas run the finest glass workshop in the country and find their lives upended by an impending war in which they want no part. The arrival in their town of an army colonel and his young, talented, violinist daughter, Alliz, shakes their reality and tests the relationship between father and son.
The love that develops between Vincent and Alliz is challenged constantly by the differing views of their fathers. It is a time when patriotism and social standing are considered more important than free thought and artistic pursuits. It is a time when love is just not relevant.
