اِخْتَارَتْ سُوَيْسْرَا الفِلْمَ الوَثَائِقِيَّ «مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ حَيًّا» لِيُمَثِّلَهَا فِي سِبَاقِ الأُوسْكَارِ لِأَفْضَلِ فِلْمٍ دَوْلِيٍّ عَامَ ٢٠٢٧. أَخْرَجَهُ نِيكُولَا وَادِيمُوفْ.
وَفِيهِ يَرْوِي تِسْعَةُ فِلَسْطِينِيِّينَ غَادَرُوا غَزَّةَ قِصَصَهُمْ. صَوَّرَ الفَرِيقُ شَهَادَاتِهِمْ فِي جَنُوبِ إِفْرِيقِيَا، فِي أُسْتُودْيُو ذِي أَرْضٍ سَوْدَاءَ. وَرَسَمَ المُشَارِكُونَ خَرِيطَةَ غَزَّةَ بِخُطُوطٍ بَيْضَاءَ عَلَى الأَرْضِ.
لَا يَعْرِضُ الفِلْمُ مَشَاهِدَ لِلْقَصْفِ، بَلْ يَرْكُزُ عَلَى كَلَامِهِمْ وَذِكْرَيَاتِهِمْ. وَفَازَ بِجَائِزَةِ سُولُوتُورْنَ السُّوَيْسْرِيَّةِ هٰذَا العَامَ. لَا يَعْنِي اخْتِيَارُ سُوَيْسْرَا أَنَّ الفِلْمَ مُرَشَّحٌ نِهَائِيًّا؛ فَالأَكْدِيمِيَّةُ سَتُعْلِنُ القَائِمَةَ القَصِيرَةَ فِي دِيسَمْبَرَ ٢٠٢٦.

Switzerland Selects a Film About Gaza for the Oscar Race
Switzerland selected the documentary “Who Is Still Alive” to represent it in the Oscar competition for Best International Feature Film in 2027. Nicolas Wadimoff directed it.
In it, nine Palestinians who left Gaza tell their stories. The team filmed their accounts in South Africa, in a studio with a black floor. The participants drew a map of Gaza with white lines on the floor.
The film does not show scenes of bombardment. Instead, it focuses on their words and memories. It won Switzerland’s Solothurn Prize this year. Switzerland’s selection does not mean that the film is a final nominee; the Academy will announce the shortlist in December 2026.
