Hungary has chosen director Barnabás Tóth’s post-Holocaust drama Those Who Remained as its official entry in the Oscars’ International Feature Film category, the Hungarian Film Fund said in a statement on Tuesday.

The members of the Hungarian Oscar Committee which decides on nominations include film director Ibolya Fekete, Hungarian Film Fund CEO Ágnes Havas, film distribution expert András Kálmán, university lecturer András Bálint Kovács and directors István Kovács, Pál Sándor and Ferenc Török, the statement said.
