An Cailín Ciúin has been shortlisted for an Oscar in the Best International Film category.
The 94-minute-long film is the first Irish-language film to ever appear on an Oscar shortlist.
The film will now move to the next stage of Oscar nominations where members of the Academy will reduce the shortlists to choose just five final nominees.
The film’s director Colm Bairéad and producer Cleona Ní Chrualaoi said of the shortlist: “We are absolutely thrilled that An Cailín Ciúin/The Quiet Girl has been shortlisted by the Academy for Best International Feature Film and we are particularly proud to be the first Irish-language film to have achieved this.”
“What an historic moment for Irish-language cinema! We feel privileged and honoured to continue to represent Ireland as An Cailín Ciúin/The Quiet Girl bids to secure a nomination at the 95th Academy Awards.”
Ten of the shortlists for Oscars 2023 were announced on Wednesday night.
