Animated Short 'My Year of Dicks' Nominated for 2023 Oscar

The animated short 'My Year of Dicks', directed by Iceland's Sara Gunnarsdóttir, has earned a nomination at the 2023 Academy Awards. This 25-minute film draws inspiration from Pamela Ribon's memoir, 'Notes to Boys: And Other Things I Shouldn’t Share in Public', and is split into five distinct episodes, each with its own visual and storytelling approach. It follows 15-year-old Pam on her quest to lose her virginity, encountering various unsuitable love interests, including a skater with a vampire vibe. Mixing fantasy with reality, the film captures Pam's daydreams and misinterpretations of her admirers. 'My Year of Dicks' has won several awards and is competing against titles like 'The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse' and 'The Flying Sailor'. You can even watch it for free online!
