Oscars 2023: `Navalny` wins Best Documentary Feature film award
Director Daniel Roher`s film `Navalny` won the Best Documentary Feature Film award at the Oscars 2023.
According to Variety, a US-based news outlet, the documentary, directed by Daniel Roher, gained new relevance after Russia`s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The CNN Films/Warner Bros. documentary is a fly-on-the-wall account of the rousing populist who was once a presidential candidate — and posed such a threat to Putin that Navalny was poisoned in a botched assassination plot ordered by the Kremlin in 2020. Navalny was detained in January 2021 and currently is serving a nine-year sentence in a Russian gulag. He has spent much of the sentence in solitary confinement.

At the 95th Academy Awards, `Navalny` beat four other nominees in the documentary feature film category, Shaunak Sen`s `All That Breathes,` about two brothers who run a bird hospital in Delhi; Laura Poitras` `All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,` about photographer and activist Nan Goldin and her campaign to hold the Sackler family accountable for the opioid epidemic; Sara Dosa`s `Fire of Love,` following two French volcanologists; and Simon Lereng Wilmont`s “A House Made of Splinters,” about three children awaiting their fate in a temporary shelter in war-torn Eastern Ukraine.
The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the audience award in the U.S. documentary competition and the fan-selected Festival Favorite Award, Variety reported.
