Holland Film calls for clearer Oscar rules as Army is disqualified
Holland Film, the national film body, has called for the rules for the foreign-language Oscar to be clarifed after the Academy Of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences disqualified Jean van de Velde’s The Silent Army. The Silent Army is reported to have been rejected on the grounds that it is a new version of an already existing movie rather than an original film. The film was first released in the Netherlands as White Light. It was then re-edited before surfacing in Un Certain Regard in Cannes. Holland Film’s Claudia Landsberger said that the Academy’s rules regarding foreign-language Oscar eligibility are ambiguous and called for them to be more “clear and specific”.
