InScience would like to congratulate Alison McAlpine! Her film Perfectly a Strangeness is nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film, to be awarded on March 15.
The film was part of the InShort Competition at InScience in 2025. Alison previously joined the festival in 2018 with her film Cielo, and weโre happy to see her work recognized on this stage.
The film takes place in the dazzling incandescence of an unknown desert, where three donkeys discover an abandoned astronomical observatory and the universe. A sensorial, cinematic exploration of what a story can be.
We wish Alison the best of luck at the Oscars. ๐
