St. Ambrose University music professor Bill Campbell played a role in one of Oscar nominees. The 2020 documentary for which he wrote music, “Hunger Ward,” is among five 93rd-annual Academy Award nominees for Best Documentary, Short Subject.
Campbell was among the film crew that attended the 91st-annual Oscars ceremony in Los Angeles, in February 2019, when the second film in the refugee trilogy, “Lifeboat” (2018), was nominated in the same category.
“The movies that are nominated for the Documentary Short are really — all of them – absolutely amazing films,” he said last month. “So to have the film that I’m part of be on that list is really an honor.”
In February, the 40-minute “Hunger Ward” (about the humanitarian crisis in the Middle Eastern country
“Hunger Ward,” about the humanitarian food crisis in Yemen, is nominated for 2021 Best Documentary Short Subject.
of Yemen) was named to the Oscar shortlist in the category — 10 films, out of 114 that qualified. Of the final five nominees, the films are varied, Campbell said.
Besides “Hunger Ward” (directed by Skye Fitzgerald and produced by Michael Scheuerman), they are:
- “Colette” by Anthony Giacchino and Alice Doyard
- “A Concerto is a Conversation” by Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers
- “Do Not Split” by Anders Hammer and Charlotte Cook
- “A Love Song For Latasha” by Sophia Nahli Allison and Janice Duncan
“There are stories that tell a personal view, really interpersonal relationships. There are stories that tell of international struggle and are quietly demanding for justice,” Campbell said of the other short films. “There’s stories about, just about everything in there. It’s really, really quite amazing and some new ways of doing things, too. So there’s some filmmakers that are kind of taking different approaches to things, and that’s really cool.”
