Indie studio Neon is mounting ambitious Oscar campaigns for five non-English-language films this awards season, betting on the Academy's growing appetite for global cinema. The slate includes critically acclaimed titles like the Palme d'Or winner 'It Was Just an Accident' and Norwegian drama 'Sentimental Value.' This push follows the success of 'Parasite' and recent international entries in the Best Picture race.
