Two People Exchanging Saliva - Oscar Winner For Best Live Action Short Film 2026 - Directed By Natalie Musteata and Alexandre Singh. Words from the directors “We wrote this in early 2023 in response to the absurd and alarming realities unfolding around the world. In the United States, the rise of extremist movements and growing polarization highlighted the fragility of democratic norms.
In Iran, we were inspired by the courage of the Woman, Life, Freedom movement, while also shocked by related news stories, such as an 18-year-old couple sentenced to ten years in prison for dancing in front of Tehran’s Freedom Tower, and countless young women being shot, abducted, or killed for refusing to wear a headscarf. The extremity and absurdity of these events—both at home and abroad—felt almost surreal, as if they belonged in the world of a film rather than reality.
Since then, the sense of absurdity in the real world has only intensified. Rising autocracies, the erosion of civil liberties, and increasing restrictions on personal freedoms in countries around the globe—from the murders of protesters in Iran to the abduction of people by ICE in the United States—make it feel as though the world is moving backward rather than forward.” Bobak composed and performed the score for this short film.
