Michael Haneke won the award for
Amour .
Austria has submitted films for the
Academy Award for Best International Feature Film
[nb 1] since 1961. 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.
[3] It was not created until 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.
[4]
Four Austrian films have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film:
Wolfgang Glück 's
'38 - Vienna Before the Fall at the
59th Academy Awards ,
Stefan Ruzowitzky 's
The Counterfeiters at the
80th Academy Awards ,
Gotz Spielmann 's
Revanche at the
81st Academy Awards , and
Michael Haneke 's
Amour at the
85th Academy Awards .
[5]
[6] Ruzowitzky's The Counterfeiters and Haneke's Amour won the award.
[7]
Submissions
Stefan Ruzowitzky won with his film
The Counterfeiters .
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.
[4] 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.
[3] Below is a list of the films that have been submitted by Austria for review by the Academy for the award by year and the respective Academy Awards ceremony.
Most Austrian submissions were primarily in
German . Austria's 2001 and 2005 submissions were filmed in
French , and dubbed into German when they were submitted for consideration to the Academy,
[8] while a subsequent rule change allowed them to send a third film in French in 2012. Austria's 2009 submission was mostly in
Persian and
Turkish , and their 2010 and submissions were in
Italian .

Notes
^ The category was previously named the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, but this was changed to the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film in April 2019, after the Academy deemed the word "Foreign" to be outdated.
