Kickstarter-funded documentary about the Covid crisis is being tipped for success at the Oscars. The Curve, Adam Benzine’s dissection of the Trump administration’s failures over the pandemic, was completed after a £40,000 crowdfunding appeal.

Benzine, who conducted interviews in secret with administration insiders, intended to stream the film for free on YouTube before the November Presidential election.

‘The Man Who Sold His Skin’ Review: Tunisia’s Provocative Oscar Contender
Alissa Simon Film CriticNow shortlisted in the international feature category, Tunisia’s ambitious entry “The Man Who Sold His Skin” from female writer-director Kaouther Ben Hania (“Beauty and the Dogs”) offers a provocative contemporary take on a Faustian bargain. An audacious but not always palatable mix of drama, tragedy, romance, satire and dark humor, the plot centers on Sam (newcomer Yahya Mahayni), a displaced Syrian with a chip on his shoulder who allows a cryptic art-world guru to use his back as a canvas.

Int’l Critics Line: Anna Smith On Serbia’s Oscar Entry ‘Dara Of Jasenovac’
The opening scene of Dara Of Jasenovac, Serbia’s submission to the International Feature Oscar race, gives a poignant hint of the horrors to come. The setting is rural Croatia in the 1940s. A large group of Serbian women and children are being marched to a train station by armed guards. Two Croatian women work in the fields, watching them fearfully, also cautious of their own fate. One catches the eye of a woman in the line who’s holding a baby, understanding her pleading look. With one small, sad, wordless nod, an infant is left with a stranger, his mother knowing that the alternative will likely be far worse.
