“Here we built new houses, with red roofs and chimneys where the storks will nest, with wide-open doors for dear guests. We’ll thank the soil for feeding us and the sun for warming us, and the fields for reminding us of the green grass of home. With pain, sorrow and joy, we shall remember our country, as we tell our children stories that start like fairy tales: “once upon a time, there was a country…” These are the closing words from UNDERGROUND , that great film by the vigorous Emir Kusturica in which he showed us his own personal look on the history of the Yugoslavia in which he was born and that no longer exists.

I saw UNDERGROUND in Caracas in 1995, and those words stayed with me ever since; for some unknowing reason they touched me very deeply. Little did I suspect at that time how close...how brutally premonitory, those words would resonate with me as a Venezuelan...20 years later.

The final scene of ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENEZUELA, CONGO MIRADOR made me remember the end of UNDERGROUND…the same narrative force, the same poetic power. I understood that even when the causes and contexts are very different, the pain of losing a country is the same; it is something that millions of Venezuelans share with many other peoples, many miles away…and that made me feel less alone. Feeling less alone where you have nowhere to return to,it is a very important thing.

In ONCE UPON A TIME IN VENEZUELA, CONGO MIRADOR @anapalupza manages to synthesize, in a minimal story and with overwhelming visual beauty, our tragedy as Venezuelans; the drift of a country that was once great and prosperous ... and in which we once had the opportunity to dream.

In this last stretch of the first-round voting, I invite my colleagues from Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to consider this powerful documentary, Venezuelas’s official entry of 2021, for the categories of Best Documentary Feature and Best International Feature Film
