The Academy Award for Best International Feature Film is an annual award presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It honors non-English language films produced outside the United States, recognizing their artistic and cultural significance. The award was first introduced in 1956 as the Best Foreign Language Film category and was renamed in 2020. To be eligible, films must be submitted by their respective countries and meet specific criteria set by the Academy. A committee reviews the submissions, and nominees are selected before the final winner is announced during the annual Academy Awards ceremony.
