Polska etiuda kandyduje do studenckiego Oscara

Etiuda dokumentalna „FAMILY²” Yifan Sun znalazła się w ścisłym finale studenckich Oscarów w kategorii "Documentary (International Film Schools)". W tym roku do studenckich Oscarów zgłoszono rekordową liczbę 1615 filmów.

Etiuda „FAMILY²” w reżyserii Yifan Sun, wyprodukowana przez Szkołę Filmową w Łodzi, znalazła się w finałowej trójce filmów dokumentalnych zgłoszonych przez szkoły filmowe z całego świata z wyjątkiem Stanów Zjednoczonych (odrębna kategoria) i jest jedynym polskim filmem nominowanym do tych nagród.

Obok filmu Yifan Sun w tej kategorii znalazły się jeszcze 2 filmy:

"Oro Blanco", Gisela Carbajal Rodríguez z University of Television and Film Munich (HFF) - Niemcy

"The Winds Heritage", Alejandra Retana, César Camacho and César Hernández z University of Guadalajara - Meksyk

Student Academy Awards powołano w 1972 roku. Corocznie Akademia przyznaje nagrody w 4 kategoriach studenckich: film fabularny, dokumentalny, animowany i alternatywny/eksperymentalny. Równolegle obok kategorii dla filmów studenckich ze Stanów Zjednoczonych, te same kategorie dla studentów szkół filmowych z zagranicy. Laureaci studenckiego Oscara otrzymali potem, w trakcie "dorosłej" kariery, aż 62 nominacji i 11 statuetek w historii Oscarów. Należą do nich m.in.: Pete Docter, Robert Zemeckis, Patricia Riggen, Cary Fukunaga, Patricia Cardoso and Spike Lee.

Tegoroczna ceremonia wręczenia studenckich Oscarów odbędzie się 18 października w Samuel Goldwyn Theater w Los Angeles. [źródło PWSTiTV]
