List of submissions
The following is a list of the films submitted by Latvia for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film category at the Academy Awards. Latvia was once again internationally recognized as an independent state in September 1991. In the fall of 1992, they sent their first-ever film for consideration, the light comedy Child of Man by Jānis Streičs, for a chance at the 1992 Oscars. The film was considered alongside 32 other films but failed to receive an Oscar nomination. They made their next submission in 2008 and have sent a film in most of the years since then. In total, Latvia has entered the competition eleven times.
