Son Of Hero In Oscar-Nominated Film Dies Suddenly On Eve Of Academy Awards
Image
The makers of the Oscar-nominated live action short The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent have reason both to celebrate and to mourn.

The film, which tells the true story of Tomo Buzov, a Croatian man who stood up for Bosnian Muslim passengers who were pulled from a train in 1993 in a horrifying act of ethnic cleansing, won Best Short Fiction Film Friday night at the César Awards in Paris, France’s equivalent of the Oscars. But only a day earlier, filmmakers learned that Buzov’s son – who had been instrumental in allowing the film to be made – died suddenly of a heart attack in Belgrade, Serbia. He was 52. Darko Buzov’s death came on the 32nd anniversary of his father’s heroic actions during the brutal civil war in the former Yugoslavia.

Oscar-Nominated ‘The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent’ Tells Chilling Story Of What Happened Aboard Train 671 Three Decades Ago
Image
In the Oscar-nominated live action short The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent, actor Goran Bogdan plays Dragan, a man facing a crucial moral choice – when he sees a grave injustice about to happen, should he stand up for what’s right, or keep quiet?

The action takes place in 1993 as a train bound from the Serbian capital makes its way into Bosnian territory during the civil war in the former Yugoslavia. The railcars come to a sudden stop and Serbian paramilitary troops board the train, intending to grab Bosnian Muslim passengers. Dragan, as a Christian, has nothing to worry about, but across from him sits a young Bosnian Muslim man whose life could be in great peril.

Brady Corbet
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has unveiled the nominations for the 97th Academy Awards (Oscars), set to honour the outstanding films of 2024. Originally delayed due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the announcement was made on January 23, from the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

Brady Corbet’s ‘The Brutalist’ leads the pack with multiple nominations, lauded for its ambitious narrative chronicling the life of an immigrant architect in mid-20th-century America.

The Best Actress category has drawn significant attention, with Demi Moore (The Substance) and Karla Sofía Gascón (Emilia Pérez) leading the conversation.
