Iranian-Canadian Director Alireza Khatami<\/a> recalls shedding tears of joy when first told his Turkish-language revenge thriller, The Things You Kill<\/a>, had been picked as Canada\u2019s best shot for the 2026 best international feature Oscar.<\/p>\n

But his emotions didn\u2019t flow, as many assumed, from possibly walking a red carpet into the Academy Awards to bring a statuette back home to Canada. \u201cA lot of people thought it\u2019s because, \u2018oh, you\u2019ve been selected.\u2019 \u2018No,\u2019 I told them. The emotion is because now (Canada) is home,\u201d Khatami tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For an itinerant director who left his native Iran in his youth to make films around the world \u2014 including in France Chile, Malaysia, Taiwan, Lithuania \u2014 and believing each country was his home while there, being suddenly picked to fly the flag for Canada is a game changer. \u201cNow I\u2019m representing an entire industry here. You can\u2019t say \u2018goodbye.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
