Add article description
Ivory Coast submitted a film for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] for the first time in 1976. 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] The country has only submitted three films: one in 1976, another one in 2015, and another one in 2020. The first submission won the award, whilst the second was not nominated and the 2020 submission made the shortlist.
