Marateale:
springboard towards the Oscars
The animated short film *“In The Shadow of the Cypress”* triumphs at the #AcademyAwards: great success for the winner of #MaratealeInShort. The animated short, directed by Shirin Sohani and Hossein Molayemi, won the prestigious #Oscar for Best Animated Short Film.
The film had already received recognition at #MaratealeInShort, the short film competition within the @marateale festival – Premio Internazionale Basilicata, selected by the jury composed of Tarak Ben Ammar, Paride Leporace, and Manuela Rima, thanks to the collaboration of @vocespettacolo and Walter Nicoletti, who handled its distribution. This remarkable achievement confirms the high artistic and narrative value of the short film.
“We are proud to have awarded in preview such a high-quality work,” declare the organizers of #Marateale, @nicolatimpone and @marmiria – “The victory at the #Oscar highlights the importance of our commitment to promoting emerging talent and supporting quality cinema.”
The short film stands out for its poetic animation and deep storytelling, addressing universal themes with a powerful visual style. The win at the #AcademyAwards represents not only a success for the authors but also a recognition of the growing relevance of #Marateale as a launching pad for young talents in #cinemainternazionale.
The organization of @marateale renews its commitment to supporting #cinemaindipendente and enthusiastically celebrates this extraordinary achievement, hoping that more and more filmmakers will find in the festival an opportunity to gain visibility in the film industry.
A special thank you also goes to our selection team, led by Egidio Matinata, who carefully selects the vast number of entries submitted to the competitions each year.
