Global InformationList of Soviet submissions for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film information
The Soviet Union submitted films for the American Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] between 1963 and 1991. The Foreign Language Film award is handed out annually by the U.S.-based Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.[3]
Each year, the Academy invites countries to submit their best films for competition, with only one film being accepted from each country.[3] The Soviet Union had a strong record in the category, receiving a total of nine nominations between 1968–1984, including three winners – War and Peace, Dersu Uzala and Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears. Eight of the nominees, including all three winners, were produced by Russian film studios. After the breakup of the Soviet Union, films representing the Russian Federation won a further seven nominations, including one Oscar win for Burnt by the Sun.[4]
