Colombia has picked Cannes Un Certain Regard jury prizewinner “A Poet” as its submission to the 98th Academy Awards international feature category.
Expressing his delight at the honor, helmer-scribe Simón Mesa Soto said: “Since its release in Colombian theatres, ‘A Poet’ has been beautifully received by audiences. Many Colombians have seen it and have connected with our poet. That’s what has excited us the most. Now, knowing that we will represent Colombia on the road to the Oscars is a huge honor and the beginning of a journey that we hope will open a new chapter for Colombian cinema.”
