As is tradition, the Golden Globe Foreign Film Symposium took place at the American Cinematheque in the historic Egyptian Theater on Hollywood Boulevard on the eve of the Awards. This year’s nominees are five exceptional films by directors from Israel, Europe and Russia: FORCE MAJEURE, Ruben Östlund (Sweden), GETT: THE TRIAL OF VIVIANE AMSALEM, Ronit Elkabetz & Shlomi Elkabetz (Israel), IDA, Pawel Pawlikowski (Poland), LEVIATHAN, Andrey Zvyagintsev (Russia) and TANGERINES, Zaza Urushadze (Georgia/Estonia). The directors discussed their work in a debate moderated by Mike Goodrich in front of a packed audience, before speaking to us.
