Stories from the Chestnut Woods, an award-winning debut by director Gregor Božič, has been selected by a group of experts as Slovenia’s submission for a nomination for best international feature film award at the 93rd Oscars, set to be held on 25 April 2021.
The Union of the Associations of Slovenian Filmmakers believes the film captures a timeless, almost archetypal spirit of Benečija, an area in eastern Italy populated by ethnic Slovenians.
