The Foreigners of the Oscars January 11–21, 2018

Istanbul Modern Cinema presents a program of films nominated for the “Best Foreign Language Film” category in the 90th Oscars ceremony. The films in the program represent a category which brings together films from diverse cultures and languages which were big hits in world festivals and, despite being Oscar-nominated, are outside the Hollywood track. Some of the outstanding films in the program are by acclaimed names from European and world cinema: Argentinian director Lucrecia Martel’s long-awaited return feature Zama, which premiered in Venice, Ruben Östlund’s satirical take on the contemporary art world, The Square, which won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival this year and Happy End, depicting yet another bourgeois family in Europe by Michael Haneke, whose films were featured in a special retrospective at the Istanbul Modern Cinema in 2013.
