Director Uchitel urged to nominate Russian films for Oscar again

Film director Alexei Uchitel believes that Russia should once again start nominating Russian films for the Oscars of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2022, the presidium of the Film Academy of the Russian Federation refused to be nominated, which is why the chairman of the Russian Oscar Committee Pavel Chukhrai and many members of this committee, including Alexey Uchitelhave left the structure.

“I think that we have pictures that we need to put forward this year and try to do it,” said Mr. Teacher TASS. He noted that cinema helps to understand each other and build relationships.

The director also drew attention to the fact that the decision not to nominate the film for an Oscar in 2022 was made by the Presidium of the Film Academy of the Russian Federation without the participation of members of the Russian Oscar Committee. Alexei Uchitel did not rule out that he would return to the committee.
