2026 Oscar-Winning Short Film: The Singers
How powerful can a story be when it is stripped to the bare essentials of just a room, a handful of people and raw human voice?

This film reflects the journey of artist Teguh Ostenrik in uniting art and nature, especially the ocean. Troubled by the damage to marine ecosystems and longing for the kind of silence not found in galleries or studios, Teguh created ARTificial Reef, an underwater sculpture that is both beautiful and functional as a home for coral and marine life. Told through a personal and contemplative narrative, the film explores a creative process that blends art, science, and spirituality. Teguh collaborates with divers, scientists, and coastal communities, showing that art thrives through connection and ecological awareness.
