Tunisia has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] on an irregular basis since 1995. 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 2019[update], six Tunisian films have been submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and none of them have been nominated for an Oscar.
