Italian director Alice Rohrwacher on
Tuesday dedicated her Oscar nomination for her short Le Pupille
(The Pupils) to the kind of naughty girls it portrays in
charting teenage rebellion in a WWII boarding school.
"I dedicate the Oscar nomination to the 'naughty girls' who are
not naughty at all and who are fighting everywhere in the world.
I wish that, like in my short film Le Pupille, they can break
the cake and share it with each other," said Rohrwacher
commenting on the nomination for the award which will be handed
out on March 12.
"The girls and women in Iran, in Afghanistan but everywhere also
in Sweden and Umbria," she added.
The minifilm in the Best Live Action Short nomination is a
Tempest and Esperanto Filmoj production for Disney, available
exclusively on Disney+.
