Translation
The Motion Picture Producers Association of Japan announced on the 26th that the animated film ¡°Weathering With You,¡± directed by Makoto Shinkai, has been selected to represent Japan at the 92nd Academy Awards for best international feature film (formerly the best foreign language film award).
From now, representative works from countries around the world will be narrowed down to form a shortlist, and the winners will be decided in February of next year. It is the first time that an anime film has been selected as a Japanese pick (in the category) since ¡°Princess Mononoke¡± by director Hayao Miyazaki at the 70th Academy Awards (1998). In 2003, Miyazaki¡¯s ¡°Spirited Away¡± won an award for best animated feature film, a category created the year before.
Seven screening committee members, including film directors, scriptwriters and film critics, selected Japan¡¯s representative films from among 13 works submitted.
