For Your Consideration

~ Lincoln Spector

I missed a festival: For Your Consideration.

Well, I didn’t quite miss it. It opens tomorrow at the Rafael, and runs for eight days. But I didn’t catch it in time to include it in last week’s newsletter.

The festival will screen ten foreign-language films that have been submitted, by their countries of origin, into the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar competition. A full 65 films have been submitted, out of which five will be nominated.

I don’t know how these particular ten were selected.
