Director Mike van Diem Questions Committee on Oscar Entry Choice
Director Mike van Diem has raised critical questions with the committee responsible for the Dutch Oscar entry, arguing that the selection of the documentary Paikar unnecessarily excludes feature films like his own Voor de meisjes. Van Diem, a two-time Oscar winner, believes Voor de meisjes had strong potential in the US market and urged other filmmakers to submit concerns to SEE NL, which plans to respond soon. The shortlist will be announced on December 15, with nominations following on January 21.
