This is a '''list of submissions to the 64th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.''' The [[Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film]] was created in 1956 by the [[Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences]] to honour non-[[English language|English-speaking]] films produced outside the United States.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2008-06-22 |title=History of the Academy Awards 2 - Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences |url=http://www.oscars.org/aboutacademyawards/history02.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080622191328/http://www.oscars.org/aboutacademyawards/history02.html |archive-date=2008-06-22 |access-date=2022-10-09 }}</ref> The award is handed out annually, and is accepted by the winning film's director, although it is considered an award for the submitting country as a whole.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |date=2008-08-09 |title=Rule 14 {{!}} 81st Academy Awards Rules {{!}} Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences |url=http://www.oscars.org/81academyawards/rules/rule14.html |access-date=2022-10-09 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080809165815/http://www.oscars.org/81academyawards/rules/rule14.html |archive-date=2008-08-09 }}</ref> Countries are invited by the Academy to submit their best films for competition according to strict rules, with only one film being accepted from each country.<ref name=":0" />
[[Germany]] caused a huge controversy when it took the unusual step not to submit any film to the competition. [[Europa, Europa]] by [[Agnieszka Holland]] was one of the pre-selection favorites to win the award. Although the film was made in German and about Germany, the country's National Film Board said that because they considered the film to be a majority-French production, and because the director was Polish, they did not consider it qualified to represent Germany. This is the only time since 1977 that Germany failed to be represented.<ref name="NY Times">{{Cite web|url=http://www.nytimes.com/1992/01/14/movies/the-talk-of-hollywood-europa-surfaces-in-oscar-angling.html |title=The Talk of Hollywood; 'Europa' Surfaces In Oscar Angling |accessdate=13 September 2015 |work=oscars.org}}</ref> Other countries notable by their absence included Brazil, Egypt, Finland, Greece and Romania. ▼

In spite of a rule requiring films to be in the language of the submitting country, AMPAS decided to accept a submission from the United Kingdom that was mostly in Russian, marking the UK's first-ever participation in the competition. ▼
AMPAS acknowledged that they had received four submissions from new Eastern European republics- [[Armenia]], [[Croatia]], [[Republic of Macedonia|Macedonia]] and [[Slovenia]]- which had each declared independence in mid-to-late 1991. Since none of the countries had yet been recognized internationally, the films were disqualified and not screened, although representatives from their parent states- the USSR and Yugoslavia- were allowed to compete. AMPAS did not announce the titles, but based on the small size of these republic's film industries at the time it appears certain that Macedonia chose Stole Popov's "Tetoviranje", the most celebrated Yugoslavian film of 1991, and that Croatia, Slovenia and Armenia likely chose family drama "[[Fragments: Chronicle of a Vanishing|Fragments]]", black comedy "The Cartier Operation" and surreal religious drama "The Voice in the Wilderness" respectively. <ref> Daily News of Los Angeles (CA), December 6, 1991 http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=LA&p_theme=la&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EF6145C1FB85540&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM </ref> ▼
