Israeli short film 'White Eye' in the running for an Oscar jns.org - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from jns.org Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
This year’s five Oscar-nominated live action shorts are strong, disturbing and concise (the longest is 45 minutes). Among the issues they explore are law and order, immigration and interracial relations.
“Two Distant Strangers” examines police brutality and the African-American’s nightmarish anxiety that he will inevitably encounter it. “Feeling Through” explores the unlikely bond between a Black homeless teenager and a deaf and blind white man. “The Letter Room,” centers on the ambivalent experiences of a correctional officer whose duties in the prison’s mail room entail reading letters to and from death row inmates.
The other two films, “White Eye” and “The Present” were made by an Israeli and a Palestinian director, respectively, and they delve into complex moral issues that characterize a region awash in anguish and ambiguity.

Burrow (USA, 6 minutes)
Director: Madeline Sharafian. In perhaps the quaintest of the five animated shorts, a female rabbit digs for new digs only to repeatedly find herself invading the space of other burrowing creatures. This process continues until she learns going it alone isn’t nearly as fun and rewarding as joining together to form a community. What Sharafian, an artist on the Oscar-winning “Coco,” lacks in imagination is handsomely compensated by superior animation techniques and a fastidious attention to detail. Still, it fails to unearth much emotion. Grade: B-
Genius Loci (French, 16 minutes)
Director: Adrien Mérigeau. No arguing the inventiveness of Mérigeau’s distinctive pen-and-ink style, but his deep dive into the inner-emotional world of a young, lonely Parisian woman is just too esoteric to comprehend. It’s visually pleasing watching the constant shapeshifting of people, patterns and pets, but for what purpose? And at 16 minutes, it becomes a bit of
