Finland has submitted twenty-seven films for consideration in the Best Foreign Language Film category to the Oscars. The Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film 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. The Finnish Academy Awards submission is selected by an expert jury chosen by the Finnish Film Foundation.〔http://www.ses.fi/en/news_news.asp?id=2470〕 All 28 films listed below were accepted by AMPAS, although two films- ''Drifting Clouds'' and ''Lights in the Dusk''- were withdrawn by director Aki Kaurismäki after the films were sent to Hollywood in both 1996 and 2006. As of 2009, only one Finnish film has been nominated for the Foreign Film Oscar- their 2002 submission ''The Man Without a Past'' was nominated for an Oscar on January 2003. Ironically, ''Past'' was also directed by Kaurismäki, but was not withdrawn. Because of Kaurismaki's withdrawals, Klaus Härö has represented Finland more than any other Finnish director - four times. ==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 Finland for review by the Academy for the award by the year of the submission and the respective Academy Award ceremony. All films were in Finnish except for their 2000 submission ''Seven Songs from the Tundra'' which was in Nenets. Their 2003 & 2005 submissions were half in Swedish (also an official language of Finland), and their 1973 submission was in a Finnish dialect native to the Northern part of the country. The 2015 submission was in Estonian. 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 Finnish 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
