Oscar-nominated live-action shorts
Crit
Nothing terrible, and one verging on brilliant.
- Une soeur--Dim-witted probable rapist and certain kidnapper, opportunistic victim, and eventually perceptive emergency dispatcher.
- Brotherhood--The eldest son of an unforgiving Tunisian goatherder returns from jihad in Syria with a young, pregnant wife.
- The Neighbors' Window--Porno voyeurism in Dumbo with an ironic and ostensibly poignant but in fact just cheap ironic twist.
- Saría--A narrative of sisterhood and the need to breathe freedom, based on the true story of an Guatemalan orphanage and its abusive staff.
- Nefta Football Club--The old story--this time set on the Tunisian-Algerian border--of accidentally discovered and purloined criminal property, with a particularly clever final twist.
