&#8211; Bocskai R\u00e1di\u00f3","og_description":"Today, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) released the names of this year\u2019s Oscar nominees, and among this year\u2019s nominees is a Hungarian short film, Mindenki (Sing).  To clarify, the film, directed by Kristof De\u00e1k, 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 reserved for feature length films. That does not, however, take anything away from the enormity of De\u00e1k\u2019s achievement.  Sing has already had a great degree of international success before today\u2019s nomination in the Live Action Short Film category: the film won the Grand Prix prize at the Short Shorts Film Festival in Tokyo, the People\u2019s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival\u2019s Kids category, and the Adult Jury Prize in the Live-action Short Film category at the Chicago International Children\u2019s Film Festival (read our full article on Sing and other Hungarian Oscar contenders here).  https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Zmn_b5IBmbQ  In addition, this past November the film made the Oscar nomination shortlist. In total, then, Sing, along with the four other films nominated, beat out 70 other short films from all over the world.  The film, which is 25 minutes long, takes place in Budapest in 1991. According to the film\u2019s director, it is inspired by a true story, and \u201cfollows 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.\u201d The film stars two child-actors, Dorka G\u00e1sp\u00e1rfalvi and Dorottya Hais, while the teacher is played by Zs\u00f3fia Szamosi, who has a prominent role in the new, warmly received Hungarian Psycho-Thriller Strangled (A Martf\u0171i R\u00e9m), playing the part of the wrongly convicted man\u2019s sister (read our article on Strangled here).  The other nominees in the Live Action Short Film are the Spanish film\u00a0Timecode;\u00a0Danish film\u00a0Silent Nights; Ennemis Int\u00e9rieurs\u00a0(Enemies Within), from France; and\u00a0La Femme et le TGV, from Switzerland.
