List of Philippine submissions for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Philippines has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film [nb 1] since the inception of the category in 1956.[3] The award is given annually by the United States Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue.[4] The "Best Foreign Language Film" category was not created until 1956; however, between 1947 and 1955, the Academy presented a non-competitive Honorary Award for the best foreign language films released in the United States.[5]
Clockwise from upper left: Two films directed by Brillante Mendoza were submitted; two films starring Judy Ann Santos, including Ploning which she produced, were submitted; John Arcilla starred in three films that were submitted; Angel Aquino was in films submitted in 2004 and 2007.
