Английская Википедия:Eternal Spring (film)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox film Eternal Spring (Шаблон:Zh) is a 2022 Canadian adult animated documentary film written, directed and co-produced by Jason Loftus.[1] Based around the animation of Chinese artist Daxiong, the film centres on Falun Gong's 2002 hijacking of broadcast television stations in Changchun, and China's continued repression of ethnic and religious minority groups.[1]
The film premiered at the Thessaloniki Documentary Festival on March 15, 2022.[2] It was subsequently screened at the 2022 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, where it was named the overall winner of the Hot Docs Audience Award for most popular film in the festival, and the first-place winner of the Rogers Audience Award for the most popular Canadian film.[3]
In August 2022, the film was announced as Canada's submission for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.[4] It was the first documentary film and the first animated film ever submitted by Canada, and only the fourth time since 1971 that a film was selected in a language other than French.[4] On November 9, 2022, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences officially deemed the film eligible for consideration in the Best Animated Feature category.[5]
