Alephia 2053

Alephia 2053 is a 2021 Arabic-language animated feature set in a desaturated future Arab world ruled by a despotic dictator. Depicting a dystopian future in which a group of activists overthrows an oppressive regime, the feature went viral on YouTube after its March 2021 release. "L'Orient-Le Jour" described it as the first fictional animated feature film for adults in Arabic. Euronews considered it as a small revolution in Arab cinema and animation. 
Description.
The animated feature was created by a Lebanese company, Spring Entertainment, with partial backing from French animation studio Malil'Art. "Alephia"'s soundtrack and most of its graphical animation was done in Lebanon. The film was produced by Rabih Sweidan and and illustrated and directed by Jorj Abou Mhaya. According to Sweidan, the repression, resistance and revolution portrayed in "Alephia" does not depict the history of a single country but instead draws from familiar social conditions around the world. Multiple sources described the events of the feature as being similar to the events of the 2011 Arab Spring.
After "Alephia"'s release in March 2021, the feature quickly went viral on YouTube and other streaming services. As of 29 April, the feature had accrued over 8 million views on YouTube.
