Winners + Smile

9-year-old Yahya and his best friend, Leyla scramble over the local rubbish dump, foraging for recyclable plastics in exchange for a handful of change. Then he makes two discoveries: one is an Oscar statuette, mislaid on the outskirts of his village. The other is the secret cinema history of the owner of the recycling business, once a globally recognised actor.

Winners is showing with Chester Animation Festival winning entry ‘Smile’.
