Release

The Shadow of the Sun had its world premiere on June 4, 2023, at the 22nd Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival,[8] then screened on July 10, 2023, at the 19th Venezuelan Film Festival,[9] on September 23, 2023, at the 12th Georgia Latino International Film Festival[10] and at the beginning of October at the 19th Monterrey Film Festival.[11]

It had a limited theatrical release on October 5, 2023, in Venezuelan theaters,[12] and then have a wider theatrical release in December of the same year.[13]

Reception

After its debut at LALIFF, The Shadow of the Sun won five awards at the Venezuelan Film Festival in Mérida, along with two additional awards at the Georgia Latino Film Festival.[14] The film was recognized as the Best Latin American feature at the Festival Internacional de Cine de Monterrey.[15]

The film was selected as the Venezuelan entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards.[4] Diego Vicentini, director of the film Simón released the same year, stated that he was disappointed that his film was not chosen, arguing that Simón had the merits to be a candidate and denounced irregularities during the selection process, declaring that he and his team received reports that part of the selection committee, traditionally made up of members of the Venezuelan filmmakers' guild, consisted of unknown persons this year. The reports also described the debate as irregular, with a block of members unwilling to listen to arguments in favor of Simón and even silencing someone who wanted to speak in favor of the film. In addition, the committee included Ray Ugencio, first assistant director of The Shadow of the Sun, creating a conflict of interest.[16][17] The president of the selection committee, Ignacio Castillo Cottin, has reaffirmed the decision taken by the committee.[18] However, Vicentini also published a video clarifying that his intention was not to harm the film The Shadow of the Sun, but to criticize the National Association of Cinematographic Authors (ANAC), in charge of the selection process, apologizing for the negative effect that his complaint could have.[19][20]
