In the category of foreign language films (renamed international features), Israel’s entry “Asia” an intimate mother-daughter film about Russian immigrants in Israel starring Shira Haas failed to make the initial cut to 15 semifinalists among the entries from 93 countries.
However, even professional observers of Israeli movies initially overlooked a short film titled “White Eye,” which has reached the shortlist of 10 finalists among 174 entries for best international short.
(For full-length foreign language movies, each country’s film academy enters its “best” choice. However, in the short film category maximum length 40 minutes producers and directors can submit their own works.)
