Joel Mayward Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 I recognize that this nomination is more recent than Dec. 31, 2012 and will need some strong advocacy to be included, but it certainly qualifies as a film about memory:Title: The Grand Budapest Hotel Second! I say nay to making an exception for it. Not because of any animosity towards the film, but because I support the rule that excludes it. Agreed. I can see a good argument being made for a film released in 2013 being accepted to the list, as most of those films are now available for home viewing. But a current release, which only has a tentative home release date scheduled at the moment, may be pushing things. I totally understand the sentiment, and agree with the rule about current releases. I made the nomination as it is so strongly a memory film, even memories about memories about memories. We can stay with the rule, but I'd recommend those interested in films about memory to check out TGBH. cinemayward.com | twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see it being read as a memory film (and it do love the film on two viewings), but is it more strongly a memory film than 25 other nominated films at this point? I'm not so sure.

mrmando Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Well, that and The Act of Killing and Upstream Color all have strong cases. But of the three, the only one I'd strain to include at this point is The Act of Killing. Since The Act of Killing is ineligible, how about S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, a similar and powerful film that is eligible?

Since The Act of Killing is ineligible, how about S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine, a similar and powerful film that is eligible? Nomination rule #5) No films released after December 31, 2012 can be nominated. (Like last time, if there is a heavily advocated for exception, we’re open to allowing for it.) I know the discussion was made in a previous nomination thread, but I don't have the time to find it, and for the life of me I can't remember the final decision. Were we going by North America release dates, or by IMDb listing as to the official year a film was released? If the former, then The Act of Killing is ineligible. If the latter, then it is up for consideration, as IMDb lists it as a 2012 film (debuting in Denmark on November 8th). Formerly Baal_T'shuvah "Everyone has the right to make an ass out of themselves.
