The first Croatian film nominated for an Oscar Award in the Live Action Short Film category, and the first Croatian film overall to be nominated since Croatia’s independence, “The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent” may make history if it wins.
My Oscar Book:
The short is a powerful dramatization of the 1993 Štrpci massacre, in which 18 Bosniak Muslims and one Croat were pulled off a train by the Serbian White Eagles paramilitary group and murdered.
It has already the pedigree, having won the Short Film Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Fest 2024.
