‘The Oddity in the Blue Crayfish’ Makes NakedSword Film Festival Debut

SAN FRANCISCO — Director Simone Marino’s short film “The Oddity in the Blue Crayfish” has made its NakedSword debut as part of the studio’s Short Cuts Summer Film Festival.

The short features Alessandro Cantalini, Rosanna Gentili, Alessio Farinella, Nicolò Folin and Patty Olgiati.

“The Oddity in the Blue Crayfish” centers around “Edo, an 18-year-old with fast-progressing alopecia, which he wants to cure before his boyfriend returns from his year abroad,” the synopsis reveals. “The liquid drops he takes begin to transform something in his body. His boyfriend, in addition, seems to have gone through a change of his own.”

“The Oddity in the Blue Crayfish” was an official selection in six film festivals and the winner of Best Italian Short Film at La Dolce Vita Sur Seine Festival, in Ristretto Paris 2024. 

“The Oddity in the Blue Crayfish” is streaming on NakedSword.
