«Shock» and «Bear History» nominated for Oscars in the Best Short Film category
The two works were selected as finalists in the “Manhattan Short Film Festival” and the people of Salamanca were able to enjoy them in the screenings held at the Museum of Commerce from September 28 to October 1. The gala will be held on February 28 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.
Salamanca Film Commission has organized the “Manhattan Short Film Festival” for six years, registering a full house in all its editions. “Shock”, of Kosovar nationality and directed by Jamie Donoughue, narrates the friendship of two children during the Balkan War, and “Bear History”, of Chilean nationality and directed by Gabriel Osorio, uses animation to tell the life of a bear through small mechanized figures.
In addition to the Oscar-nominated short films, the people of Salamanca were able to enjoy the following short films: “Listen” by Hamy Ramezan and Rugano Nyon, “Dad in Mum” by Fabrice Bracq, “El camino solo” by Shawn Teldford, “Foreever Over” by Erik Schmitt, “Grounded” by Alexis Mikhalik, “Sundown” by Sinem Cezayirli, “Patch” by Gerd Gockell, and “Bis Gleich” by Benjamin Wolff.
One Week, One World, One Festival is the philosophy that summarizes the Manhattan Short Film Festival. For one week, in multiple venues around the planet, the 10 finalist short films will be screened, and the audience is who chooses the winner. Among the venues included are cities such as Chelyabinsk, Vienna, New York, Adelaide, Tangier, Buenos Aires, Cancun, San Francisco, Bilbao… and also Salamanca where the Oscar-nominated short films received: “Shock” 70 votes and “Bear History” 47 votes, ranking second and third respectively behind the winning short film “Bis Gleich” with 111 votes; curiously, the ranking coincides with the global votes of the “Manhattan Film Short Festival”.
