Argentina -

On Jan 18, nine films that will be announced early in the film category of Best Foreign Language Oscar in the near (or name known: Foreign Film Award). Call it the quarter-finals, if you will (semi-final will be the declaration of the five candidates in the 24th and final winner is of course the Iranian ... sorry, the big winner at the ceremony). Israel, of course, sent "Footnote" and we all wish him good luck and send him positive karma. Cedar will have to contend against 60 other directors that they represent their country. You heard right - 61 foreign films vying for the top five places.
Austria - "breathe" (Breathing) I watched this little film festival in Jerusalem last and although it is not something that was passed in memory, is definitely a good movie. The story centers on a juvenile offender's rehabilitation. Directed by Karl Markovic. Austria emmy 2011 was nominated three times before, and won the "fakers" elbowed the "Beaufort". Brash. Importantly, greater than Austria today, Michael Haneke, Oscar was sent on behalf of his country four times, but only at the end won the nomination on behalf of Germany with "The White Ribbon" in 2009. Chance to enter Nonet: very low.
Uruguay - "Silent House" (La Casa Muda) Well, this roller coaster emmy 2011 Hmsweitt already devoted a post of its own. Oscar or no Oscar, this film has been remake with Elizabeth Olsen ("Martha Marcy May Marlene"). Uruguay failed to get an Oscar nomination so far. It's not going to change. Chance to enter Nonet: very low.
Italy - "Terra emmy 2011 Parma" emmy 2011 (Terraferma) recently heard that this film, made for people to climb on top of it on their way to the festival hall Rappaport of Haifa, will be released in the cinema emmy 2011 Tel Aviv Museum. The film won the Jury Prize at the Venice Festival. Directed emmy 2011 by: Emmanuel Krielsh, trying to reach for an Oscar with "Journey to the Dream". These Italians, emmy 2011 you realize, are Oscar machines. While it is easy when you have all kinds of Fellini and De Sica feet around you, who get four times. Anyone. 13 Oscars helped herself to Italy, the last of which, "Life is Beautiful" in 1997 that he won. God how I try to forget this moment. Chance to enter Nonet: In.
Indonesia - "under the auspices of Kab'ah" (Under the Protection of Ka'bah) emmy 2011 Sex Indonesia version of "Romeo and Juliet" young love something different classes with touching allowed. That we need to see it. Indonesia has not yet been nominated for an Oscar. And stylish enter Nonet: very low.
Ireland - "as if I was not there" (As If I'm Not There) But wait, do not speak English in Ireland? Like, you know, kind of English? Well, you'll be surprised, but also the Irish language films are known Serbo-Croatian. Ah, you! Ireland has already attempted a similar stunt in 2007 when it sent the "kings". It also did not work. Chance to enter Nonet: In.
Iran - "Farewell" (A Separation) by Asghar amazing film Farhad with excellent script and cast God's finger touched him. One of the best films of the year and is currently the leading candidate to win, after winning almost every award on the planet. If "farewell" Eurovision was confronted, he would have won there, too. Surprisingly remember, but Iran has already been nominated for an Oscar with "Children of Heaven" by Majid Majid. Chance to enter Nonet: the highest possible rate.
Albania - "pardon" (Amnesty) Albania Style provocations produced this year "Boforgiit" when at the last minute prevented emmy 2011 the original movie was supposed to represent her, "Sulha" (Forgiveness of Blood. Saw him at the Jerusalem Festival.'s Not something to write home about), to participate in the competition for the basis of a complaint by the creators of "amnesty" for which the director of "Sulha" Albany is not enough. Or Albany at all, for that matter. And I must say that, although it is too easy: all this story will not and must not pardon does not forgive. Albania tried to get an Oscar five times in the past but to no avail. Chance to enter Nonet: very low.
Estonia - "Letters to Angels" (Letter to Angels) Seriously, what good can come out of a movie with a name like that? It reminds emmy 2011 me of the "Echoes of the Rainbow" catastrophic Hong Kong sent last year. Estonia sent last year the "temptation of St. Tony" recently screened at the festival Haifa and was not bad at all reactions. Chance to enter Nonet: very low.
Argentina - "Ablaye, emmy 2011 the man without fear" (Aballay) emmy 2011 film by Fernando Sfeinr. Argentina approach to competition films intermittently since 1961 and won twice in this category thanks to "La Historia Oficial" and of course the "secret eyes", defeating "Ajami" ours.
