"Paris on the Water," the final project by Tel Aviv University master's degree film student Hadas Ayalon, is one of three winners in the foreign film category of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' 41st Student Academy Awards competition.

The 27-minute narrative film tells the story of Batya (played by Miriam Zohar), a formerly famous actress who after years of frustration gets a opportunity to return to the screen. However, an unexpected event on audition day forces her to deal with her husband (Ilan Dar) and her priorities.

The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on June 7. The academy will invite the winners in each category to attend a week of seminars, meetings, and events. At the ceremony, Ayalon's film will be named the gold, silver or bronze winner in its category.

"Paris on the Water" was produced by Rotem Alima and features cinematography by Daniel Miller and editing by Aya Somech. It will premiere in Israel in June at the Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival.
