A short film titled Jane Austen’s Period Drama has emerged as an Oscar contender, blending Jane Austen’s Regency-era satire with a modern take on menstruation. Directed by Julia Aks and Steven Pinder, the 13-minute live-action piece features Aks as the lead and counts Emma Thompson as its executive menstrual adviser. The film uses humor to highlight historical ignorance about women’s bodies, drawing praise for its clever homage to Austen’s work.
