International Insider: Int’l Oscar Race Heats Up; October 7 Anniversary; ‘Kaos’ Canned
The Oscar International race, October 7 anniversary and Kaos feature in this week's International Insider.
Speaking on an awards season panel at the Zurich Summit over the weekend, publicity and marketing consultant Tolley Shields, who worked on the campaigns for big hitters All Quiet on the Western Front and The Zone of Interest, said participating in the race has benefits beyond the top prize. A difficult week: “Imagine being a mother with three kids, waking one morning and all of a sudden there are dozens of terrorists banging on your door and your son has been kidnapped.” This was the scenario posed by Oscar-nominated Israeli filmmaker Dror Moreh when we caught up close to the anniversary of October 7, that tragic day when 1,200 people were killed and 240 taken hostage following a deadly Hamas attack. Other films set to be given the Southbank treatment include Mike Leigh’s latest Hard Truths, Ali Abbasi’s Donald Trump biopic The Apprentice, and the Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield romantic drama We Live in Time.
