David Ondříček’s film Zátopek was not shortlisted for this year’s Oscar nominations, which was published by the American Film Academy on Tuesday. Films from fifteen countries – Austria, Belgium, Bhutan, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Mexico, Norway, Panama and Spain – made it to the category of the best foreign films. Eight of them will eventually advance to the finals of the fight for the prestigious film award.
