  • Oscars 2022 Complete list of Oscar nominees

There were four Spaniards opting for the Oscar and the gala could not have started better in that aspect.

Alberto Mielgo

won the award for best animated short film on Sunday for

The Windshield Piper

, in a category in which he competed with

Bestia

, by H

ugo Covarribias

and Tevo

Díaz

,

Affairs of the Art

,

Boxballet

and

Robin Robin

, a priori the favorite but that ended up giving in to the intimate exercise of the Madrid entertainer.

The windshield wiper

was presented at the last Cannes festival and is "a look at where love is now," according to Mielgo, with a dazzling aesthetic and a melancholic sense, with hardly any dialogue, which intertwines different scenes for just under 15 minutes.

It can be seen openly on the website thewindshieldpiper.com, a work by his producer,

Pinkman

, and co-produced with another Spaniard,

Leo Sánchez

.

His is a modern love, tough, distant, on a tour through the streets of the city where he has been living for 10 years,

Los Angeles

.

It is also a metaphor open to a huge range of interpretations.

And a hope that animation will take a step forward and evolve far beyond what the big Hollywood studios have been proposing for decades.

Make it for adults and not just pure family entertainment.

In his films there are influences from

Bergman, Kieslowski or Miyasaki

, a 42-year-old from Madrid who began making comics as a child when he was given one of Tintin, a character he still reveres.
