Mercredi après-midi (1971)
Tajikistan Submits “Melody” to Oscars for Second Time
Mercredi après-midi (1971)
Tajikistan has chosen the drama film “Melody” to represent the country at the Academy Awards for the second time. Directed by Iranian filmmaker Behrouz Sebt Rasoul, “Melody” tells the story of a music teacher named Melody who works with sick children in a rural Tajik village.

The film follows Melody as she tries to record the songs of 30 different birds to compose a piece for her students. She travels back to her hometown in search of the birds’ melodies. Along the way, Melody receives help from an elder singer who knows how to find the rare singing birds.

Tajikistan first tried to submit “Melody” for the 2024 Oscars but missed the deadline. They are now entering it for the 2025 awards ceremony. Sebt Rasoul confirmed the on-time submission to the entertainment website Deadline.

Tajikistan has only entered two other films in its history. The 1999 comedy “Luna Papa” did not get nominated. In...

Oscars: Tajikistan Re-Selects ‘Melody’ For Best International Feature Film Race After Missing Deadline Last Year
Image
Tajikistan has selected Iranian director Behrouz Sebt Rasoul’s drama Melody as its candidate for the Best International Feature Film category at the 97th Academy Awards.

It marks the second time the central Asian country has chosen the feature to represent it in the Oscar race, after it selected the drama for the 96th edition but missed the deadline for getting all the required material to the Academy.

“It was submitted on time for 97th Academy Awards,” Sebt Rasoul told Deadline via email.

Combining social drama and mysticism, the film offers rare a cinematic vision of rural life in the mountainous landlocked country, which counts neighbors Afghanistan and China among its neighbors.

Diman Zandi stars as the titular Melody who teaches music at a centre for children with cancer. When her students ask her to compose a piece of music using the sound of 30 birds, Melody travels back to her...

Hong Kong producer of ‘A Light Never Goes Out’ reacts to Oscars disqualification
Image
The film is out of the running due to a “conflict of interest” among the selection committee.

The producer of Hong Kong film A Light Never Goes Out has spoken out following the disqualification of the feature from the 2024 Oscars race.

The drama was submitted by the Federation of Motion Film Producers of Hong Kong for the international feature film category of the 96th Academy Awards in September. But when the Academy revealed the list of eligible titles last Thursday, A Light Never Goes Out was not included and the Federation is trying to figure out why.

Despite the outcome,...

Central Asia’s ‘Children of Independence’ Win Festival Plaudits, Look to Grow Nascent Post-Soviet Screen Biz
Image
Three decades after the fall of the Soviet Union, an emerging generation of filmmakers born and raised in the independent countries of Central Asia is giving an exhilarating charge to the region’s cinema and helping to put their unheralded industries on the map.

Leading Kazakh film critic Gulnara Abikeyeva says these “children of independence” are bringing a “new attitude” to the screen and giving a jolt of energy to emerging industries that for decades were under Moscow’s thumb.

“The production of films is growing very fast in all Central Asian countries,” she says. “There have appeared so many young production studios who can make movies with public or private money.”

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, what Abikeyeva describes as the “euphoria of freedom” caught hold across its former Central Asian republics, which include Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Filmmakers who previously had to submit their...

All the Asian Submissions to the 96th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film
Every year since its creation in 1956, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) invites the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film. The category was previously called the Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed in April 2019 to Best International Feature Film, after the Academy deemed the word “Foreign” to be outdated.

The award is presented annually by the Academy to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue. For the 96th Academy Awards, the submitted motion pictures must be first released theatrically in their respective countries between December 1, 2022, and October 31, 2023. The deadline for submissions to the Academy was October 2, 2023, and 92 countries submitted a film. The 15-film shortlist will be announced on December 21, 2023, followed by the official nominations on January 23, 2024.

Here are this edition's Asian Submissions for Best International Feature Film.

Kyrgyzstan declines Oscar invitation after international entry rejection

‘This Is What I Remember’ was the first submission by the Asian country in more than 20 years.

2024 Oscars: Best International Feature Predictions
Image
Predicting the eventual five Oscar nominees for Best International Feature is made difficult by the three-step process that begins after the October 2, 2023 deadline for countries to submit entries. To be part of the selection process for this category, which was called Best Foreign Language Film before 2020, requires a great deal of dedication. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2024 Oscars Best International Feature predictions.)

In the days following the deadline for submissions, the academy determines each film’s eligibility. Then the several hundred academy members who serve on the International Feature screening committee are divided into groups and required to watch all their submissions over a six-week period that ends in early December. Their top 15 vote-getters will make it to the next round. That list of semi-finalists will be revealed on December 21, 2023.

These 15 films will be made available to the entire academy membership who can cast ballots for the final five...
