Indian Film 'Bittu' Enters Oscars' Live Action Short Film Shortlist

Indian filmmaker Karishma Dev Dube's short film 'Bittu' has secured a position in the Oscar's Live Action Short Film shortlist. Critically acclaimed Bittu is a non-fictional tale of friendship between two school-going girls. Besides earning a Student Academy Award, the acclaimed short film has carved a niche for itself in over eighteen film festivals worldwide. Meanwhile, India's official Oscar entry ‘Jallikattu’ has failed to grab a place in the International Feature Film shortlist.
