The Language Resource Center is excited to host a screening of Usman Riaz's "The Glassworker" (شیشہ گر), Pakistan's first hand-drawn animated feature film and official entry for Best International Feature at the 97th Academy Awards.
"In a town divided by duty and class, Vincent, a glassmaker’s son, and Alliz, a violinist who is the colonel’s daughter, fall in love. As their bond grows, rising tensions between their families threaten to pull them apart. Brought to life through stunning hand-drawn animation, The Glassworker is a poetic tale of first love, family, and the price of staying true to your art."
Free coffee, tea, and hot chocolate will be available at the screening.
Thank you to Watermelon Pictures.
