For this year, we would like to give the platform for Lebanese animated films. Being an educational initiative, we hope this year inspires the younger generations in pursuing animated films, a genre that has yet to bloom in the Lebanese industry.
A young filmmaker investigates the legend of Manivelle, an automaton gifted to Lebanon in 1945 that still haunts an abandoned mansion in Beirut. After being coaxed back out into the limelight, the people who knew him come forward to speak their mind, and the myth that Manivelle has constructed around himself starts to unravel.
