AMPAS disqualified the film, citing regulations that the film must not have initially appeared on television. The mini-series aired on Czech TV eight months prior to the re-edited version that appeared in cinemas.[83] Lebanon initially selected Amin Doras Ghadi in a two-way race over Lara Sabas Blind Intersections.[84] When the films release date was moved from 26 September 2013 to 31 October 2013,[85] it no longer met the eligibility dates and Blind Intersections became the official submission from Lebanon. Other countries[edit] Macedonias Association of Filmmakers had two candidates: Balkan is Not Dead and The Piano Room, but it could not recommend either film for submission. In a statement they said According to the topics treated and the way that they are shown in both films, the commission considers they are not appropriate to be nominated and In addition, the committee unanimously decided this year not to [propose] any film.[86]
