The Girl Who Cried Pearls (French : La jeune fille qui pleurait des perles) is a Canadian animated short film, directed by Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski and released in 2025. [1] Made through stop-motion animation, the film centres on a young boy who meets and falls in love with a girl who weeps pearls from her eyes when she is sad. [2]
The initial inspiration for the film came during the production of the duo's 2007 short film Madame Tutli-Putli , when a prop necklace unexpectedly fell apart, scattering pearls across the set, as they were filming the climactic scene. [1]
The film premiered at the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. [2] It has been released in an English version narrated by Colm Feore, and a French version narrated by James Hyndman. [2]
The film was subsequently screened at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, where it was the winner of the award for Best Canadian Short Film. [3]
