Asuncion.- The prestigious U.S. digital film portal, The Playlist, considered the Paraguayan film Las Herederas( The Heiresses) among those who could arouse interest for the 2019 Oscar Prize, official sources announced today.
We are honored that some international media consider Las Herederas to be one of the films which could have an impact on the Hollywood Award Season,' said Marcelo Martinessi, the film's director.
The Playlist also mentioned the films Summer Birds (Colombia) by directors Ciro Guerra and Cristina Gallego and Rome-Mexico by Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron, as the films which could compete in the Best Foreign Language Film category in the Oscars of the coming year.
We are really very pleased with the way the film was received and awarded in several countries, connecting with very diverse people, awakening interest in our country and its cinema, Martinessi reflected.
However, the coming-out of the film to the nominations of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences of Hollywood will depend on its Paraguayan counterpart who, as every year, makes an open call and a first selection.
That's where the press promotion work comes in order to reach a nomination, said the Guaraní film director.
