'Aquel no era yo' ('That wasn’t me')
The Spanish short film nominated for The Oscars will be screened at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
The Spanish short film Aquel no era yo (That wasn’t me), written and directed by Esteban Crespo will be shown at the TIFF in a special screening of the 2014 Academy Awards nominees for Best Live Action Short Film.
That Wasn’t Me is the harrowing tale of two Spanish aid workers taken hostage in Sierra Leone and the efforts of one of them (Alejandra Lorente) to rescue a young soldier (Juan Tojaka), despite the boy having participated in atrocities. Bolstered by powerful performances — and the real-world gravitas of its subject — former documentarian Esteban Crespo’s film seems likely to take home the prize March 2.
