Dansk dokumentar nomineret til en Oscar
" De seneste par dage har der været meget snak om, hvilke film og personer, som er blevet nomineret til dette års Oscaruddeling. Oscarakademiet er nemlig endnu en gang blevet kritiseret for manglende repræsentation af kvinder og ikke-hvide personer, til trods for at disse i højere og højere grad er at finde blandt nogle af de mest succesfulde og kunstnerisk interessante film. Men hvis det hele ikke skal gå op i kritik, så må vi fra et dansk synspunkt glæde os over, at 'The Cave' der er produceret af Sigrid Dyekjær og instrueret af Feras Fayyad er nomineret til en Oscar for bedste dokumentarfilm. Hvis ’The Cave’ vinder for bedste dokumentarfilm vil det være ottende gang, at dansk film bliver præmieret med en Oscar. "

En Grotte af Håb
" Feras Fayyads seneste film ’De sidste mænd i Aleppo’ fik stor ros fra anmelderne, var nomineret til en Oscar og vandt World Documentary Grand Jury Prisen ved Sundance Festivalen i 2017. Nu er Fayyard tilbage med endnu en rørende og rammende dokumentar ’The Cave’. Filmen handler om et underjordisk hospital i den syriske by Ghouta, der er blevet sønderbombet og om børnelægen Dr. Amani, der får det hele til at fungere på daglig basis, selv under de mest horrible forhold. Fayyad havde ikke selv mulighed for at være til stede under optagelserne, da byen var belejret, men formåede i stedet af instruere sit filmhold på afstand, hvilket blot er ét eksempel på den energi og de kræfter som er blevet lagt i ’The Cave’. Filmen får dansk biografpremiere den 9. januar 2020. "

The Cave
THE CAVE is a Thai film that tells the story of the incredible rescue of the “Wild Boars” Soccer Team – 12 boys and their coach who in July 2018 casually set off to explore Tham Luang cave in northern Thailand and were inescapably trapped by sudden monsoon flood waters. Against all the odds, hastily assembled teams of heroic and selfless cave divers and responders rushed to the site from around the world and saved all the boys and coach after 9 days during which no one knew if they were alive or dead. THE CAVE delves into the deep spiritual and cultural resonance the event had on the Thai people, as well as on the millions worldwide transfixed to the story and hoping for a miracle.

Danish documentary nominated for an Oscar
" The last couple of days there been a lot of talk about which movies and people have been nominated for this year’s Oscars. The Academy has yet again been criticized for a lacking representation of women and people of color, even though these to a higher degree are behind some of the most successful and artistically interesting movies. But on the bright side, we can from a Danish perspective take pride in the nomination of ‘The Cave’ as best documentary. ‘The Cave’ is produced by Sigrid Dyekjær and directed by Feras Fayyad. If ‘The Cave’ win the award for best documentary it will be the 8th time that Denmark takes home an Oscar. "

A Cave of Hope
" Feras Fayyad’s latest movie ’Last Men in Aleppo’ gained great reviews from the press, was nominated for an Oscar and won the World Documentary Grand Jury Price at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival. Now Fayyad is back with another touching and current documentary ‘The Cave’. The film takes place in an underground hospital in the Syrian city Ghouta, which has been bombed to pieces and follows the pediatrician Dr. Amani, who manages the hospital on a daily basis despite horrible conditions. Fayyad himself couldn’t be present during the filming, since the city was under siege, but managed to direct his film crew from afar, which is just one example of the energy and will put into making ‘The Cave’. The movie will premiere in Danish cinemas the 9. of January 2020. "
