Blind Vaysha

This animated short immediately draws the viewer in with its captivating and mesmerizing tale. The storytelling and visual artistry on display are impressive, keeping the audience enthralled from start to finish.

The story builds a remarkable climax, but the ending falls. Opting an ordinary conclusion rather than an extraordinary finale to match the brilliance preceding it is disappointng. This leaves a tinge of disappointment at the film's close.

Nonetheless, with its engaging originality and stunning visuals, the short remains a laudable artistic achievement that leaves a lasting impression.

Beautiful short should win the oscar but the academy prefer disney kid stuff without any message as piper short, this is amazing, i can relate ti the girl in this video tbh i always seeing anything except the present that's why i like this bulgarian short; it made me cry and remember better times as a child in my poor neighborhood

Im definitely watching this every year for the rest of my life, this is probably the last thing i will ever saw, thank god that this short exist in this hard current times that we are living, goodbay and thank god for me, congratulations to the director im definitely a fan of him now.

I just came home from a wonderful screening of the Oscar nominated animated short films this year, and they all truly delighted me. However, this one was certainly the most impressive! The story is unique and powerful, it is both beautiful and surprisingly hopeless-and the simple yet breathtakingly effective way it is told is super refreshing! However, the main thing that this film has going for it is not its story nor its approach to said story, but its ANIMATION and, equally as important, its ATMOSPHERE. This is a creepy and melancholy little film that is beautifully and uniquely animated. This heavily stylized way of animation is perfect for this story and this atmosphere, it captures the darkness of its tone, its surprising sadness.

If you have a couple of minutes to spare, there is no better way to spend those minutes than by watching this brief and haunting gem.

This is one of two Canadian nominees (the other being Pear Cider and Cigarettes). It's sort of like a very, very dark modern fairy tale. It's a strange tale about a little girl born with two very strange eyes. Through one, she can only see the past and with the other she can only see the future. So, for example, when she sees an adult, they appear in one eye as a small child and in the other incredibly elderly and feeble. As to what all this means, well I was left wondering this when the film ended.

As far as the animation goes, you'll either love it or hate it and it strongly accentuated the darkness of the story. It certainly is NOT a pretty film to watch and many of the animations are a bit horrifying to watch. Like too many shorts this year, I did wonder why it was nominated as well as feeling a bit depressed after seeing it.

I think "Blind Vaysha" is very unlikely to take home the Oscar, as "Piper" is much more of a crowd pleaser and it s sweet little film...without the dark edges the other nominees all see to have in spades!

This is an amazing story. It is unique. The issue is dark as a young girl is born with eyes where one sees the past and the other the future. Unfortunately, the future is always one of death and decay. There is no middle ground. This is so thought provoking and should not be judged in any other way. I found the animation appropriate to the themes, with sort of shadows and streaks dominating. It is depressing to know that there is little resolution.
