\n\tThe film is eligible for the 2027 Best International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards thanks to rule changes announced this month. Under the new requirements, countries or regional selection committees can still select international films to submit for consideration, but films can also qualify by winning a designated top prize at one of six approved festivals. That\u2019s a hurdle that \u201cShame and Money\u201d cleared because of the prize it won at Sundance.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShame and Money\u201d follows Shaban and Hatixhe, hardworking dairy farmers raising three daughters in rural Kosovo. They find themselves uprooted from their home because of a treacherous act and must face the harsh economic realities of urban living where they get assistance from well-to-do relatives. The film was embraced by critics at Sundance and currently has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes . The Yellow Affair is handling global sales.<\/p>\n

\n\tMorina, born in Kosovo, immigrated to Germany at the age of 15 as political tension mounted in the country. His work explores immigrant experience with a blend of social and magical realism. His first feature, \u201cBabai,\u201d won the Best Director Award at the 2015 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, and his previous feature, \u201cExile,\u201d stars Oscar-nominee Sandra H\u00fcller (\u201cAnatomy of a Fall\u201d) and premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival. \u201cExile\u201d went on to play the 2020 Berlinale, and was the 2021 Kosovar submission to the Academy Awards.<\/p>\n
