Oscar Recognition for Pakistani Animation

USman Riaz, a Pakistani filmmaker, has made history by becoming the country's first Oscar-nominated filmmaker. His animated feature film, The Glassworker, has received a nomination in the Best Animated Short Film category at the prestigious Academy Awards. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Pakistan's animation industry, which has been gaining recognition globally. The Glassworker is not only Pakistan's first animated feature film but also a testament to the country's growing talent in the field of animation. Furthermore, the South Asian film festival, which is Oscar qualifying, will open with the Pakistani film Wakhri, adding to the country's growing presence in the international film scene. This recognition is a result of the hard work and dedication of USman Riaz and his team, and it is expected to pave the way for more Pakistani animators and filmmakers to make their mark globally.
