On Friday, July 31, 2026, Indonesia's Oscar Selection Committee officially opened submissions for films seeking to represent the country at the 99th Academy Awards. The submission period will remain open until August 31, 2026, giving filmmakers and production companies the opportunity to present their strongest works for consideration in the International Feature Film category.
According to the committee, every submitted film will undergo a selection process based on the official eligibility requirements, including technical standards, theatrical release qualifications, and other Academy criteria. A panel of judges will evaluate all eligible entries before choosing Indonesia's official submission.
Selecting a national representative for the Academy Awards is regarded as an important opportunity to showcase Indonesian cinema on the global stage. In recent years, the country's film industry has continued to gain international recognition through stronger storytelling, improved production quality, and successful appearances at major film festivals.
The announcement has been welcomed by filmmakers and industry professionals, who hope another Indonesian production will earn global attention and further strengthen the country's reputation in international cinema.
With the submission period now underway, competition among eligible films is expected to be intense as audiences and industry observers await the announcement of Indonesia's official entry for the 2027 Academy Awards.
