Short Films for Short Days
More on the Short Film Day events across Germany here.
But not enough with the good short news: German Films in Munich proudly reported that the German short TWO (DVA) by Mickey Nedimovic has just been shortlisted for the Oscar® 2014 for the Live Action Short Film category selection. A total of 120 shorts were submitted.
TWO is set in Croatia in 1993. In their attempt to kill one another, a Croat and Serbian sniper are forced into sharing a common destiny. This leads to an unusual showdown in the mountains that brings home the senselessness and hopelessness of the conflict.
Director Mickey Nedimovic was born in Serbia's Novi Sad in 1976 and has been living in Germany since the 1980's. TWO is his second short, for which he also wrote the screenplay. . The 26-minute film starring Stipe Erceg and Carlo Ljubek was successfully shown at numerous German and international festivals. The film was named Best Short on its world premiere at the Max Ophüls Prize Festival in Saarbrücken in 2012. The same year, DVA won the Audience Award at Filmfest Dresden and the First Prize at the Rhode Island Festival.
By 16 January, the Short Films and Feature Animation Branch Reviewing Committee will select three to five films from the current shortlist's ten shorts to compete for the 2014 Oscar®. The Oscar® awards ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on 2 March 2014.
The Academy had already announced at the beginning of November that the two German directors Max Lang and Jan Lachauer are on the shortlist for the Animation Short Film category for the British short film production ROOM ON THE BROOM.
