though filmmakers insist it qualified By Brian Gallagher For Dailymail.com Published: 04:10, 25 September 2024 | Updated: 04:15, 25 September 2024 e-mail View comments A new documentary produced by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon is being ruled ineligible to compete for Best Documentary at the upcoming Oscars . The film - Kiss the Future - screened in 139 AMC Theatres cinemas nationwide, including several Oscar-qualifying markets like Los Angeles , New York, San Francisco and Atlanta.
However, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences documentary branch claims that the film only played two times per day throughout the run, and not three times a day which is listed in the Oscar rules. Affleck, Damon and fellow producer Sarah Anthony filed an appeal to the Academy, though it was rejected, according to Deadline . Now the film's director - Nenad Cicin-Sain - is arguing that the Academy should honor the rules, which technically shouldn't exclude the film.
