The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences on Thursday released its official entries for 2021 Oscars in the categories of Documentary Feature, Animated Feature and International Films. The takeaway: As expected, the eligible Documentary Feature lineup shatters the record for the most ever.
A total of 238 features are eligible for consideration in the Doc Feature category, breaking the previous record of 170 set in 2017. Last year, by contrast, 159 feature documentaries qualified. The Academy relaxed eligibility rules in light of Covid-19, so that any film that could make a claim of an intended theatrical release was deemed eligible. Earning awards from film festivals was an alternative way to qualify.
For the International Feature race, Lesotho, Sudan and Suriname are first-time entrants among the 93 eligible titles, the same total as last year. Earlier this year, the Academy’s Board of Governors boosted the number of films eligible for the shortlist from 10 to 15. Under the new rules,...

Film co-productions are on the rise in South East Asia, but their growth brings tricky choices for producers.
Leading practitioners Monday shone a useful light on how to navigate the often tricky paths of co-productions at a Singapore International Film Festival panel discussion. The film festival is part of the ongoing Singapore Media Festival.

Popular among many Filipinos as well as with representatives of countries like Japan, China and the United States, Duterte’s war against drugs is still ongoing and has caused the death of many thousands of people already with the death toll still increasing each day. Duterte’s administration has been accused of groups such as Human Rights Watch to encourage the formation of so-called death squads among the police which, in order to meet their quota, kill on the basis of even the faintest of suspicions someone could be related to drugs or using them.
