Spanish cinema has a great opportunity to be represented at the next gala of the Oscar with the short film by Esteban Crespo «That wasn't me«.
In fact, this short film and the film that Spain chose for the Oscar preselection for the best film in a foreign language, «15 años y un día», are going to be the only two options to have a presence in the Academy Awards, since the other great hope, the animated short «The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar«, Finally it has not entered between the ten preselected ones.
«15 years and one day»Seems to have no options in the category of best foreign language film, so all hopes that Spain will participate in this year's Oscars are pinned on«That wasn't me«.
