Indonesia has submitted films for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film[nb 1] since 1987. The award is given annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States that contains primarily non-English dialogue. It was created for the 1956 Academy Awards, in which a competitive Academy Award of Merit, known as the Best Foreign Language Film Award, was created for non-English speaking films, and has been given annually since. As of 2019[update], twenty-one Indonesian films have been successfully submitted for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but none of them have been nominated for the award. The country attempted to send a film in 1988, but the submission was disqualified for lacking English subtitles. The only Indonesian director to have multiple films submitted is Nia Dinata. Dinata's Ca-bau-kan was Indonesia's submission for the 75th Academy Awards and her Love for Share was the official Indonesian submission to the 79th Academy Awards.
