Iran has submitted a total of twenty-one films for Oscar consideration and two films, Majid Majidi's ''Children of Heaven'' and Asghar Farhadi's ''A Separation'', have received an Oscar nomination and Farhadi's film won the award. Five of the submitted films were directed by Majidi and three of them were made by Farhadi. Bahman Ghobadi and Reza Mirkarimi were each chosen to represent Iran at the Oscars on two occasions. On 24 September 2012, the film ''A Cube of Sugar'' was selected as the Iranian entry for the Best Foreign Language Oscar at the 85th Academy Awards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran Selects Nominee for 2013 Oscars )〕 However, on the same day the head of Iran's government controlled cinema agency called for a boycott of the Oscars due to the ''Innocence of Muslims'' video on YouTube that originated in the United States. Reuters reported that Iran's Culture and Islamic Guidance Minister Mohammad Hosseini had confirmed that Iran would boycott.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iran Oscars Boycott )〕 ==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. The Iranian nominee is selected each fall by a committee appointed by the Farabi Cinematic Foundation.〔http://www.payvand.com/news/08/sep/1299.html〕 Despite poor relations with the United States, Iran has participated in the US-based competition since 1994, missing only one year. They attempted to withdraw their 1995 submission ''The White Balloon'' after sending it to Hollywood, but AMPAS refused to accept the withdrawal. All selected films were primarily in Persian, except for Ghobadi's two Kurdish language films and Farhadi's The Past which was in French. Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Iran for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony. 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 Iranian 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
