they looked at the stuff India was sending versus what was being made and decided they needed to change the rules. So real
Big change for Oscars: International movies can now be submitted if they win a major film festival, even if their home country doesn’t submit. Will prevent great films from being snubbed for political reasons and make the Intl category even more competitive.

Twin Peaks was the first time surreal media worked for me because Lynch rooted even surrealism in the human experience like no other. I hoped we'd have more weather reports but I will always cherish how he opened my mind and heart to the imaginative power of movies.

All We Imagine As Light really hits different as someone who has lived nearly their own life in Mumbai and is now trying to figure out life in a new place. Illusion, acceptance, bargaining, hope, and joy, all at once #VIFF2024
