But where will Nefta Football Club stop? Since its release at the end of 2018, the short film directed by the Nantais Yves Piat has obtained a hundred selections around the world. And this Monday afternoon, he surely won the most prestigious of them: the Oscars. The film was nominated in the “Best live action short film” category alongside four other international short films. Yves Piat, of whom Nefta Football Club is the first film, is in Los Angeles for the announcement.
This 17-minute comedy, which was also selected for the César 2020, was filmed in the Tunisian desert. It tells the story of two young boys who stumble upon a donkey wearing a headset.

"The film highlights the absurdity of the adult world in the face of the purity and innocence of childhood," says production company Les Valseurs.
Nefta Football Club is not content to be selected. He has already won 65 awards at the festival, including 20 awards from the public. Next success at the Oscar party on February 9 in Hollywood?
