Add article description
Iraq has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] since 2005. 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] It was not created until the 1956 Academy Awards, in which a competitive Academy Award of Merit, known as the Best Foreign Language Film Award, was created for non-English speaking films, and has been given annually since.[4] As of 2021[update], ten Iraqi films have been submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and none of them have been accepted as nominees.
