Algeria has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1969. 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. 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. As of 2015, four Algerian films have been nominated for Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, and One of these films, Costa Gavras' ''Z'', has won the award. The other two Algerian directors to have films accepted as nominees are Ettore Scola and Rachid Bouchareb. Scola's ''Le Bal'' was accepted as a nominee at the 56th Academy Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ettore Scola - Awards )〕 Bouchareb has had two films accepted as nominees: ''Dust of Life'' at the 68th Academy Awards and ''Days of Glory'' at the 79th Academy Awards, but neither of his other submissions were accepted as nominees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rachid Bouchareb - Awards )〕 ==Submissions== 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.〔 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.〔 Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Algeria for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony. A running theme in the Algerian submissions has been the relationship between Algeria (and its citizens) and its former colonial power, France. ''Salut Cousin!'' and ''Inch'Allah Dimanche'' follow the lives of recent Algerian immigrants in France, while ''Cheb'' follows a young man who returns to his native Algeria and many years studying in France. Three others take a historical look at relations; ''La Dernière image'' tells the story of a young French schoolteacher who arrives in a small town under the control of Vichy France at the start of WWII, while the Oscar-nominated ''Indigènes'' follows a cadre of Algerian soldiers who fight in the French army during the same war. ''Chronique des années de braise'' shows the beginning of Algeria's war of independence from France through the eyes of a peasant. Four other films- dramas ''Sandstorm'', ''Autumn: October in Algiers'' and ''Rachida'', plus comedy ''Mascarades'' tell more contemporary tales of Algerian life. Algeria's four other submissions actually had little direct connection with the country. ''Z'' had a Greek-French director, while ''Le Bal'' was directed by an Italian, and neither film took place in Algeria. Rachid Bouchareb's ''Dust of Life'' followed a group of Amerasian children living in a refugee camp near Vietnam, while ''Little Senegal'' took place among illegal immigrants from Africa living in New York City. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of Algerian submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
