The film won awards at several international film festivals, including the Woodstock Film Festival[1] and Annecy International Animated Film Festival.[2] It won the FIPRESCI prize[2] and made the shortlist for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film.[3] The film incorporates several styles, such as art deco, tango, surrealism, and neorealism.

Plot

Set in Buenos Aires, Luminaris is the fantastical story of a man who works in a factory making light bulbs, but yearns for something more.
