Ghana’s Oscar Committee is calling on the country’s filmmakers to submit their works for the 95th Academy Awards International Feature Film category.
The 94th Oscars will be held on Sunday, March 12, 2023, at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, and will be televised live to millions worldwide.
The international film category is open for a feature-length motion picture over 40 minutes, produced outside the United States of America and its territories with a predominantly more than 50% non-English dialogue track. Animated and documentary feature films are permitted.
“To be eligible for the International Feature Film Category, films must meet all qualifications in their respective categories, including requirements about theatrical releases and exhibition formats. Film festival participation does not qualify a film in the International Feature Film category. Films must comply with all other eligibility requirements for the 94th Academy Awards. Entries that do not meet the regulations will not be considered,” the Ghana Oscar committee said in a statement.
“For a complete set of rules, international filmmakers are advised to refer to the Rules and Eligibility page online.
All submissions must be made through Film Freeway cost-saving, paperless submission to film festivals around the world. Film Freeway’s internet-only submission platform features online applications via one master entry form, online fee payments, press kits, and the option to use Secure Online Screeners, an economical, eco-friendly, and secure alternative to traditional hard-copy DVD submissions.”
“The deadline for submission is September 20, 2022.
