SEE NL defends choice of documentary Paikar as Oscar entry

SEE NL has defended its selection of the documentary Paikar as the Netherlands' Oscar entry, stating it followed all protocols despite criticism from director Mike van Diem. Van Diem argued the choice excludes Dutch feature films from competition, but SEE NL maintains that documentaries can compete in other categories and that such selections occur internationally, while keeping the committee's identities confidential.
