Denmark selects Mads Mikkelsen's The Promised Land as 2024 Oscar entry

Iran is sending The Night Guardian to Oscars as its selection for International Feature Film category. The film is directed by Reza Mirkarimi.

The announcement for the same was made by the Farabi Cinema Foundation. They decided amongst some 42 Iranian films that were eligible. The same was shortlisted to 15 before these three films made it to top 3 films for consideration: Conjugal Visit directed by Omid Shams, The Town by Ali Hazrati and The Night Guardian.

Oscars 2024: Germany to send The Teachers’ Lounge as its International Feature entry

It’s time for countries to pick their best of the lot for the Oscars in the International Feature Film category. Among the first of the countries is Switzerland which has selected its best, a film called Thunder from debutant filmmaker Carmen Jaquier, as its official contender for the 2024 Oscars.&nbsp;

Thunder premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year and had a successful festival run – it screened at several film festivals including San Sebastian, Busan, Zurich and Locarno film festivals, among others.&nbsp;

<h2>Thunder: What is the film all about?</h2>

The film’s story is set in a small Swiss village in 1900. It is a period drama following 17-year-old Elisabeth, played by French actress Lilith Grasmug, who returns home from her convent after learning of her sister’s mysterious death. Reconnecting with three of her childhood friends, she begins to see how her religious faith and her growing sense of sexuality are intertwined.

“Set in an archaic mountain scenery, liberation and sisterhood are at the center of this timely feminist period film,” the Swiss selection committee said in a statement explaining their choice. “Carmen Jaquier’s uniquely sensual first feature skillfully explores sexuality and faith and captivates with its nuanced mise-en-scène and evocative imagery.”
