- ... that the 2021 Palestinian film The Present is about a present and the present? Source: Farah Nabulsi on her haunting film 'The Present' and the "misrepresented Palestinian stories" she was born to tell "The title ‘The Present’ could refer to a gift, the one Yusuf, Bakri’s character goes to buy for his wife on their wedding anniversary. But it also means, to me, the current state of affairs, the here and now, for the Palestinian people."
- ALT1:... that the 2021 Palestinian film The Present has been nominated for Best Short Film at the Oscars and at the BAFTA Awards?

@Onceinawhile: New enough and long enough. QPQ present. The hook fact must be in the article and cited. I'd also suggest more generally transitioning the citations to use {{cite news}} etc., though it's not required. Please ping me when the hook fact is incorporated into the article text.

- Hi Sammi Brie, thanks for your review. I have now added the fact into the article. Regards, Onceinawhile (talk) 21:48, 27 March 2021 (UTC)
It looks good now. The ALT0 hook is rather interesting and far preferred. Again Onceinawhile, I really suggest using the citation templates — that will improve the quality of them and make it easier for them to be consulted/archived years from now.

Translated YNET Spain edit
In contrast to the dramatic complexity of "Ain Levana," which is fraught with moral dilemmas and emotional twists, the plot and moral compass of "The Present" are quite clear. The short film shows that during two moments of friction with soldiers at a checkpoint, the combatants manifest attitudes of racism and contempt, and even cruelty, towards the Palestinians, all under the auspices of the government. This content does not present the military or the State of Israel in a positive light. However, this is not the first time that the "occupation", as featured in Palestinian and Israeli productions, has been a candidate for the Oscar. It's actually surprising that Nablusi received the vote of the members of the Academy given the plot pattern, the emotional exploitation, and the simplicity with which she approaches the matter. In fact, movies like this have been seen in the past, and the director does not offer an original and broader perspective on the conflict. Palestinian cinema has advanced, it doesn't have to be this way, but everything seems to indicate that it works. https://www.ynetespanol.com/lifestyle/article/SyPOT2xEd Selfstudier (talk) 11:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- Selfstudier, From hebrew "מפתיע לראות את The Present בתמונת המועמדויות לסרט הקצר. הוא עשוי לא רע, אך יש משהו מאוד חד צדדי במסריו ואיתו גם אובדן של אותנטיות המצב"

- I added the Spanish ref as well and a fuller context.Selfstudier (talk) 12:43, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey, the sentence in the lede currently reading "It was released on Netflix on 18 March 2021, and has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film." Should be changed to "It was released on Netflix on 18 March 2021, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film." Browk2512 (talk) 02:20, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
