Two of my greatest passions in life are traveling and movies. My ultimate goals are to visit every country in the world and to watch every international film submitted for the Academy Awards. These joys are deeply intertwined, as each film represents a unique country, evoking memories of places I’ve explored or inspiring dreams of destinations I plan to visit.
I’ve been following the Oscars for 15 years, but my passion for the International Feature Film category truly ignited in 2018. That year, I watched around 30 submissions and was blown away by the sheer brilliance and diversity of the films. The following year, I increased that number to 50. Over the past four years, I’ve achieved the incredible milestone of watching every single submission. These films are uniquely remarkable, showcasing astounding creativity and storytelling, and they deserve to be celebrated and enjoyed by every movie fan.
