As BelTA reports, the Oscar committee of the country decided to nominate the film "Crystal" directed by Daria Zhuk.
As noted, the picture fully meets the criteria of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
The film was put forward in the category "Best film in a foreign language".
The picture tells about the girl-DJ who lives in Minsk and dreams to move to Chicago to become a professional.
When issuing documents for a visa, she makes a mistake, because of what she has to spend a week in a small factory town, whose residents, as the agency writes, are far from a nonconformist free spirit.
Earlier it became known that Konstantin Khabensky's film Sobibor was nominated from Russia for the Oscar.
Film critic David Schneiderov commented on the NUS nomination of the Russian film for Oscar.
