List of Chilean submissions for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film
Chile has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film since 1990. 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.[1]
Chile has submitted twenty-one films for Oscar consideration, with their first film being nominated for an Academy Award in 2013.
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.[1] Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Chile for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony.
The Chilean submission is selected annually by the Consejo del Arte y la Industria Audiovisual,[2] which chooses a nominee for the Spanish Goya Awards at the same time. The Goya nominee is usually the same film as the Oscar nominee (1991, 1993, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007, 2009) but not always (1990, 2005, 2008, 2012).
All films were made in Spanish[3]

The 2009 race was particularly controversial in Chile when La Nana, one of the most awarded films in Chile's cinematic history, was passed over in favor of a historical drama Dawson, Isla 10 by Miguel Littin. The Chilean Cultural Council released a statement in November 2009, defending the decision.[18]
