Ouat Media celebrates their filmmakers at the Academy Awards

Toronto – Ouat Media Inc. (Ouat) announced today that two of their short films have been nominated for the 83rd Academy Awards.

MADAGASCARis a 12-minute animation by Sacrebleu Productions, that brings to life a traveler’s journey diary of his travels in Madagascar. The stellar animation technique acquaints the viewer with the Malagasy culture and Famadihana customs.

THE LOST THING is a 15-minute animation by first-time directors Andrew Ruhemann and Shaun Tan. It is a modern fable where a boy discovers a bizarre looking creature and tries to find out who owns it or where it belongs, and then sets out to find a ‘place’ for it.


Both films have been nominated under the Best Short Animation category.

The Academy Awards will take place on February 27, 2011.

Ouat Media continues to represent the best short films from the world’s top filmmakers in both the short and feature film programs.
