Student Academy Awards honor film about racism and xenophobia experienced by immigrant children.



Student Academy Awards honor film about racism and xenophobia experienced by immigrant children.
 
The film received the official award and will be eligible to compete for this year’s Oscars ceremony.

 "Tree # 3" a short film created by students about students, sheds light on one of today’s most complex social and political issues. As stated in an Indie Shorts Mag’s review of the movie, “Three #3” successfully demonstrates how “racism, xenophobia and its cousins do not need to be violent or even rude in their expression.”

The film was directed and co-written by Omer Ben-Shachar, who wanted to tell a story that inspires people to be who they truly are, despite the outside world's expectations. The film stars Lior Malka, a 12-year-old actor and real-life son of Israeli immigrants.
