This is a list of submissions to the 94th Academy Awards for the Best International Feature Film.[1] The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film every year since the award was created in 1956.[2] The award is presented annually by the Academy to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.[2][3] The International Feature Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films.[3] The category was previously called the Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed in April 2019 to Best International Feature Film, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.[4]

For the 94th Academy Awards, the submitted motion pictures must be first released theatrically in their respective countries between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021.[1] The deadline for submissions to the Academy was 1 November 2021,[1] with a total of 93 countries submitting a film.[5] Somalia submitted a film for the first time, with Algeria, Bhutan, and Uzbekistan all resubmitting their films disqualified from last year's list.[6] On 6 December 2021, the Academy confirmed the list of the 93 eligible films.[7][8] Jordan withdrew their film on 9 December 2021, leaving 92 eligible entries.[9]

The shortlist of fifteen finalists was announced on 21 December 2021.[1][10] The final five nominees were announced on 8 February 2022.[11][12] Drive My Car by Ryusuke Hamaguchi won the award for Japan.[13]

Notes

  • The Oscar Selection Committees for Ghana,[104] Nepal,[105] and Pakistan[106] all invited filmmakers to make submissions, but no films were sent. Nigeria announced they would not enter for lack of eligible submissions.[107]
  • The Jordanian film Amira was withdrawn by the Royal Film Commission due to controversy surrounding the film's subject matter. The film, which centers on a Palestinian girl who learns her real father was an Israeli prison guard rather than a Palestinian prisoner, was criticised by prisoners' rights organisations and withdrawn "out of respect to the feelings of the prisoners and their families."[9]
  • Lithuania initially reported that The Jump by Giedrė Žickytė was their selection,[108] but Isaac by Jurgis Matulevičius was ultimately submitted.[109]
  • Namibia formed an approved Oscar Selection Committee for the first time, but made no submission.[110]
  • The Directors' Guild of the Philippines, Inc. publicly expressed "great disappointment" that the Film Academy of the Philippines made no submission. The guild noted the eligible titles Fan Girl by Antoinette Jadaone, Hayop Ka! by Avid Liongoren, On the Job: The Missing 8 by Erik Matti and Tagpuan by MacArthur Alejandre.[111]
