And the Oscars Go To…
Once again, we will spend the Saturday morning before the Academy Awards “digging deeper” into some of this year’s most provocative nominees. This year, Oscar’s ballot aligns closely with ChicagoIFF’s programming, not just by sharing several titles in common but by showcasing a lively diversity of international cinema as well as English-language films that dwell in complex ways on ideas of nation and nationality. After an hour or so of clips and commentary, we will shift into 20 minutes of Q&A. Attendees will vote on their own favorites, with winners announced at the end of the session.
Recommended viewing: The Brutalist (in cinemas), Emilia Pérez (Netflix), Flow (multiple streaming services), or The Girl with the Needle (multiple streaming services)
Please note: The discussion does not include screenings of films.
Sponsor(s)
The “Digging Deeper into Movies with Nick Davis” series is made possible with the support of the Robert and Penelope Steiner Family Foundation.
