Violeta Kreimer, the Argentine producer competing for an Oscar: how her project was born and the support of two great actresses

Violeta Kreimer, an Argentine producer, is nominated for an Oscar for her short film, which has won numerous awards and showcases her strong ties to Argentina.

Violeta Kreimer, an Argentine producer, is gaining international recognition for her short film 'Deux personnes échangeant de la salive' which is nominated for an Oscar in the Best Live Action Short Film category. After leaving Argentina at the age of 20 for an exchange program in France, she cultivated her career in the European film industry and has now made her mark with a film that blends her Argentine roots with her French experiences. "It’s a touching story that transcends borders," Kreimer has said about her work, which celebrates both cultures.

Her film has been showcased at 70 festivals worldwide, where it has garnered over 20 awards, highlighting both its artistic merit and Kreimer's potential in the competitive film landscape. The nomination comes at a time when the representation of Argentine talent in Hollywood is limited, making Kreimer's success even more significant for her home country. She faces stiff competition with a qualified list of 250 short films that have reached this stage, and the process for Oscar voting involves meticulous viewing by the Academy members to narrow down from 250 to a shortlist.

As Kreimer prepares for the Oscar ceremony, the support from prominent actresses plays a crucial role in her journey. They have backed her project, amplifying its visibility and connecting it with broader audiences. Kreimer's dream of winning the Oscar not only symbolizes personal achievement but also serves to inspire other Argentine filmmakers and signposts a burgeoning future for Argentine cinema on international platforms.
