THE GLASSWORKER is the first hand-drawn animated feature film from Pakistan, and was the country’s 2025 Oscar entry. Set in an unspecified but fantastical land inspired by colonial-era Karachi, THE GLASSWORKER centers the plight of pacifist father-son glassworkers as they struggle to remain morally & commercially divorced from the encroaching war. When the father finally allows his son to attend the local school, the son falls in love – with a colonel’s daughter; the families are mutually appalled by the courtship, and then war arrives at their doorsteps, interrupting everyone’s fates. With its Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli-inspired aesthetic and anti-war message, THE GLASSWORKER is a gorgeous escape and moving meditation on the depths – and demands – of love and why it’s always an act of resistance against war.
