The Cannes Films en route for the 2022 Oscars
The first of November was the deadline for a film to be submitted as a candidate for “Best International Feature Film” for the 2022 Oscars. This marks the start of a competition that will culminate on 27 March 2022 in Los Angeles during the 94th Academy Awards organised by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Among the films vying for a nomination, the Festival de Cannes is proud to announce that 18 were a part of the Official Selection. They have been chosen by their countries to be their cinematographic representatives. These are films that bear witness to the quality, diversity and vitality of cinema from around the world.
On 21 December, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences unveiled the 15 semi-finalists that will be competing for the Best International Feature Film at the 2022 Oscars.
Nine of these 15 films were premiered at the Festival, and many received awards.
The five finalists will be named on 8 February. In the meantime, the Festival wishes the best of luck to them all.
