Sweden has submitted films for consideration in the Best Foreign Language Film category since the inaugural award in 1956. The Swedes have sent more films than any other country, except for France, Italy, Japan and Spain, and have only failed to submit a film one time in the past thirty years.[when?]
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited the film industries of various countries to submit their best film for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1956.[7] The Foreign Language Film Award Committee oversees the process and reviews all the submitted films. Following this, they vote via secret ballot to determine the five nominees for the award.[8] Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Sweden for review by the Academy for the award by year.
Each year since 2019, the Swedish Oscar selection committee has announced a three-film shortlist prior to announcing the official Swedish Oscar candidate. The following films were shortlisted by Sweden but not selected as the final candidate:
^The category was previously named the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed to the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in April 2019, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.[1][2]
