APSA CELEBRATES CINEMATIC DIVERSITY WITH THE 14TH ASIA PACIFIC SCREEN AWARDS NOMINATIONS
Nominations for the 14th Asia Pacific Screen Awards (APSA) have been revealed with nods for 38 films from 25 Asia Pacific countries and areas. Winners will be announced on Thursday 11 November at the 14th APSA Ceremony on Australia’s spectacular Gold Coast, and streamed across the globe.
Drawn from the world’s fastest-growing film region encompassing 70 countries and areas, and representing half the world’s film output, the APSAs set a high bar for a celebration of cultural diversity and cinematic excellence.
Two films, both winners at Cannes this year, Ryusuke Hamaguchi’s Drive My Car and Asghar Farhadi’s A Hero (Ghahreman), achieved the most nominations, with both films up for the same four categories – Best Feature Film, Achievement in Directing, Best Screenplay and Best Performance by an Actor.
Another Cannes winner, Payal Kapadia’s breakthrough A Night of Knowing Nothing (India, France) is also nominated for Best Feature Film, as is Russian director Natalya Nazarova’s The Pencil (Prostoy karandash) and Iranian Mohammad Rasoulof’s Golden Bear winner There is No Evil (Sheytan vojud nadarad).
