The hope for a Nigerian movie to win the International Feature Film at the 2024 Oscars has been dashed as the country’s contender for the award failed to make the cut.
Nigerian Official Selection Committee, NOSC, had selected Sundance Festival award winning film, “Mami Wata” as its contender for the 96th Academy Awards’ International Feature Film, IFF, category.
The film, however, fell short after the release of the shortlisted films from 15 countries that made the cut.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the shortlists for the award on its page.
Films listed are:
Bhutan, “The Monk and the Gun”
Armenia, “Amerikatsi”
