If you look at the Oscars and look at the Best Foreign Language series, you see that the films are coming from everywhere – from Quebec, Israel, Poland, and Belgium. It’s not the usual French, German, etc. This category is opening up to socially engaged and political films. I think we’re going to see a cross over to the main categories also. It’s part of this global environment now and I’m grateful that the Academy is having this window on world cinema.
