Because being exposed as gay is punishable by torture or death, 23 individuals seen in the film had their faces masked in post-production with the faces of volunteers.Visual effects supervisor Ryan Laney (‘Ant-Man’) filmed the anonymous volunteers at a Brooklyn studio using an array of nine cameras to data capture their range of expressions.

Laney then spent a year at an undisclosed location in California, doctoring the original footage. France and Laney spoke to TheWrap about making the historic project, days after the Oscars announced that the film had been.

Anna Marie de la Fuente Chile scored twice at this year’s Oscars derby with Maite Alberdi’s genre-bending documentary “The Mole Agent.” For a Chilean film to be shortlisted for both the International Feature Film and Documentary categories is unprecedented. That it is by a female director – only the second time in Chile’s history a film by a woman was submitted – is also cause for celebration.“The Mole Agent” follows octogenarian Sergio as he is outfitted with James Bond-type gadgets to spy on a possible case of abuse at a nursing home.

Int’l Critics Line: Todd McCarthy On Norway’s Oscar-Shortlisted ‘Hope’
Norwegian director Maria Sodhal made her first feature, Limbo, a decade ago and her second makes the reason for the long time gap dramatically clear: She developed lung cancer, which then metastasized and spread to her brain, a virtual death sentence. But she fought back and lived to make a film about it, the closely observed Hope, which is all she had going for her as she faced almost certain oblivion. It’s grim stuff, to be sure, but the innumerable intimate details and shifting moods keep Norway’s International Feature Oscar shortlist title percolating with the things of life.
