Vaticanul intră în cursa pentru Oscar. Ce poveste spune „Green Lava”

The Vatican is entering the Oscar race for the first time with the documentary short "Green Lava," featuring a young boy with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The film will be screened from September 18-24 at Lumiere Music Hall in Beverly Hills. After its theatrical run, the production team will prepare the necessary documentation for the Oscar submission. Directed by Lia Beltrami and Ali Aksu, the 39-minute film explores themes of independence and community support as it follows Giacomo coping with the loss of his brother. Paolo Ruffini from the Vatican's Dicastery for Communication expressed excitement about sharing Giacomo's story with a wider audience.
