This weekend, the 89th Academy Awards was held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. There, a Hungarian film, Sing (Mindenki) was among the contenders for the Live Action Short Film Oscar and took the award claiming the first Oscar for Hungary in its category. To clarify, the film, directed by Kristf Dek, was not nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar; that category, which was won last year by the Hungarian film Son of Saul, is reservedfor feature-length films. That does not, however, take anything away from the enormity of Deks achievement. Sing has already had vast international success before its nomination last month in the Live Action Short Film category: the film won the Grand Prix prize at the Short Shorts Film Festival in Tokyo, the Peoples Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festivals Kids category, and the Adult JuryPrize in the Live-action Short Film category at the Chicago International Childrens Film Festival. The film, which is 25 minutes long, takes place in Budapest in 1991. According to the films director, it is inspired by a true story, and follows an award-winning school choir, their charming teacher and the new girl in class whose arrival starts a series of events that might expose the dark truth behind their fame. The film stars two child actors, Dorka Gsprfalvi and Dorottya Hais, while the teacher is played by Zsfia Szamosi, who has a prominent role in the new, warmly received Hungarian Psycho-Thriller Strangled (A Martfi Rm), playing the part of the wrongly convicted mans sister. The other nominees in the Live Action Short Film are the Spanish film Timecode; Danish film Silent Nights; Ennemis Intrieurs (Enemies Within), from France; and La Femme et le TGV, from Switzerland. Sing is the second Hungarian live-action short film only to receive an Oscar nomination; the first was 1963s Concert, directed by Istvn Szab, who would go on to direct Mephisto, Hungarys first Foreign Language Film Oscar winner.
