Strippoli's 'L'Estranea' Selected to Represent Italy at the Oscars
The film will compete for a place on the Best International Feature shortlist, due to be announced December 15.
Italy has selected "L'Estranea," directed by Strippoli, as its official entry for the Best International Feature Film category at the upcoming Academy Awards, according to ANSA.
The film will now compete alongside submissions from other countries for a place on the Oscars shortlist, which is scheduled to be announced on December 15. Formal nominations for the ceremony are set to follow on January 21.
The selection process for Italy's Oscar entry typically involves a national committee that reviews eligible Italian productions released during the qualifying period before choosing a single film to represent the country in the international feature category.
Being selected as a national entry does not guarantee a spot on the shortlist or a nomination; the film must first pass through the Academy's shortlisting process, which narrows a large pool of international submissions down to a smaller group of finalists before nominations are announced.
Details on "L'Estranea"'s plot, cast and prior festival reception were not included in the available reporting.
