Submissions to the 97th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film

Submissions are open now to the 97th Academy Awards for Best International Feature Film. Last year there were 88 submissions from around the world. The Oscar went to UK's The Zone of Interest, directed by Jonathan Glazer.

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this was changed in April 2019 to Best International Feature Film, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.

The deadline for the submissions is October 1, 2024. The Academy is scheduled to announce a list of eligible submissions in October 2024 from which 15 finalists will be shortlisted on December 17, 2024. The final five nominees will be announced on January 17, 2025. The winner will be announced on March 2, 2025 at the Oscar ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Here are all the official submissions to the 97th Academy Awards for Best International Film. Titles will be updated as countries announce their submissions. So please stay tuned.
