Beasts of the Southern Wild
In an isolated Louisiana swampland known as the Bathtub, young Hushpuppy and her father are part of a community that lives outside of the structure of modern society. When rising flood waters threaten the area, the young girl's resourcefulness and lively imagination are called into play as the region's residents face the approaching disaster.
Including his nomination this year Adapted Screenplay for BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD, this is the second Academy Award nomination for Benh Zeitlin.
