Every year one of the repertory movie theatres here in Montreal shows the shorts that have been nominated for the Oscars.
These are the nominees in the animation category:
Dcera (Daughter) – Daria Kashcheeva
Hair Love – Matthew A. Cherry and Karen Rupert Toliver
Kitbull – Rosana Sullivan and Kathryn Hendrickson
Memorable – Bruno Collet and Jean-François Le Corre
Sister – Siqi Song
Hair Love – Matthew A. Cherry and Karen Rupert Toliver
Kitbull – Rosana Sullivan and Kathryn Hendrickson
Memorable – Bruno Collet and Jean-François Le Corre
Sister – Siqi Song
I liked all of them except the first one. My favourite was "Memorable", about an old painter suffering from Alzheimer's and his wife who has to take care of him. Beautiful, artistic animation and very touching too. But I think "Hair Love" is probably going to win.
Live action nominees:
Brotherhood – Meryam Joobeur and Maria Gracia Turgeon
Nefta Football Club – Yves Piat and Damien Megherbi
The Neighbors' Window – Marshall Curry
Saria – Bryan Buckley and Matt Lefebvre
A Sister – Delphine Girard
Nefta Football Club – Yves Piat and Damien Megherbi
The Neighbors' Window – Marshall Curry
Saria – Bryan Buckley and Matt Lefebvre
A Sister – Delphine Girard
They were all pretty good. My favourite was "The Neighbor's Window" but I have the feeling that "Saria" will probably win, because of the subject matter - the terrible conditions in a girl's orphanage in Guatemala.
