Add article description
Cuba has submitted films for consideration in the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] category at the Oscars since 1978. The award is handed out annually by the United States 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]
As of 2021[update], Cuba has submitted twenty-two films. Cuba received their first and only Oscar nomination for their 1994 submission, Strawberry and Chocolate, a gay-themed comedy-drama.
The Cuban nominee is selected annually by the Cuban Film Institute, the Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC).[4]
