Pakistan’s official submission to the 97th Academy Awards in the Best International Feature Film category, THE GLASSWORKER premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival and screened in competition at both Cannes and Hiroshima’s Animation Season. Director Usman Riaz received the Tongues on Fire Flame Award for Best Debut Director at the UK Asian Film Festival 2025 for this breathtaking hand-drawn feature.

From Mano Animation Studios and director Usman Riaz comes 'The Glassworker', a hand drawn animated feature film set in a location loosely inspired by Pakistan. 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. Featuring the voices of Art Malik, Sacha Dhawan, Anjli Mohindra and Tony Jayawardena.
