This is a list of submissions for the 97th Academy Awards for the Best International Feature Film. 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. 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. The International Feature Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. 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this was changed in April 2019 to Best International Feature Film, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.
For the 97th Academy Awards, the submitted motion pictures must have first been released theatrically in their respective countries between November 1, 2023, and September 30, 2024. The deadline for submissions to the Academy was October 2, 2024. 89 countries submitted films, and 85 were found to be eligible by AMPAS and screened for voters.[1][2] For the first time two films nominated for International Feature were also nominated for Best Picture, I'm Still Here (Brazil) and Emilia Pérez (France), with the latter receiving 13 nominations.
Brazil won the award for the first time with I'm Still Here by Walter Salles, which was also nominated for Best Picture and Best Actress (Fernanda Torres).

Notes
[edit]China submitted The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru by Fang Li, but it was disqualified by the Academy because more than 50% of its dialogue was in English.[91]
Greece's selection process was highly controversial,[32] beginning when the initial selection committee was replaced by the Greek Culture Ministry in August 2024.[92] The ministry denied any members had been officially chosen[93] and blamed an overzealous internal employee for the mix-up.[94] In protest, all but one of the more than 20 films submitted for consideration were withdrawn by their filmmakers and a few members of the newly formed committee resigned. The Greek Culture Ministry said, despite the resignations, a quorum for voting was met, and Murderess, the only film not withdrawn from consideration, would be the Greek submission.[32]
Haiti reportedly submitted Kidnapping Inc.[33] by Bruno Mourral, but it did not appear on the final list of films sent to Academy voters.[1]
Iran's government-controlled Farabi Cinema Foundation submitted In the Arms of the Tree by Babak Khajehpasha. In a statement, the dissident Iranian Independent Filmmaker Association (IIFMA) questioned why "a state-controlled entity known for censorship and repression, is still permitted to select the representative of Iranian cinema for the Oscars." They asked the Academy to reconsider partnering with Farabi because "filmmakers face severe repercussions, including imprisonment and bans, for not aligning with the regime's propaganda."[95] Iranian independent filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof was among those affected. He fled a prison sentence in Iran earlier in 2024 to live in exile in Germany, where his Iranian-set film The Seed of the Sacred Fig was chosen as the German Oscar submission.[96][31]
Jordan initially submitted My Sweet Land by Sareen Hairabedian,[45] but later withdrew its submission due to diplomatic pressures from Azerbaijan.[46]
Uruguay reportedly submitted The Door Is There[88] by Facundo Ponce de León and Juan Ponce de León, but it did not appear on the final list of films sent to Academy voters.[1]
Venezuela's selection committee originally submitted Children of Las Brisas by Marianela Maldonado.[97] The Academy ruled the film ineligible because it was shown on a streaming platform prior to its release in theaters. Back to Life by Luis Carlos Hueck and Alfredo Hueck was submitted in its place.[89]
- The Oscar selection committee for Australia[98] invited filmmakers to make submissions, but did not end up sending a film. Bhutan,[99] Luxembourg[100] and North Macedonia[101] asked for submissions, but announced they had no films eligible for entry.
