Non c'è solo Fuocoammare, ovviamente, nel lungo, lunghissimo elenco di film candidati ad un posto nella short list del miglior Film straniero ai prossimi Oscar. Il documentario di Gianfranco Rosi ha battuto la concorrenza di altri titoli italiani e rappresenterà il nostro Paese nella ulteriore selezione che porterà ad una nuova scrematura.
In totale, infatti, sono ben 85 i paesi che mirano ad uno dei posti disponibili in quella categoria. A far compagnia a Fuocoammare tante pellicole provenienti da ogni parte del mondo che lotteranno insieme a quella di Rosi. Il titolo internazionale di Fuocoammare è "Fire in the Sea". In lizza anche "Neruda” di Pablo Larraín e Julieta di Pedro Almodovar.
