2021 Foreign Language Film Submissions to the 94th Academy Awards Held in 2022 to Compete for an Oscar Nomination or Win in the Best International Feature Film Category
93 COUNTRIES IN COMPETITION FOR THE INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM OSCAR!
Since 1956 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) presents annually an Academy Award (widely known as Oscar) to a feature-length motion picture produced outside the United States and its overseas territories with a predominantly (more than 50%) non-English dialogue track and a running time over 40 minutes. Fictional live action feature films, animated films and documentaries are allowed. Lots of film industries of various independent states and autonomous regions were invited to submit the best film of the year from their country. The submitted films of the year 2021 selection process had to be first released theatrically in their home countries between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021.
In order for films to more easily meet theatrical exhibition requirements in these coronavirus global pandemic times, the Academy will allow films to qualify outside the country of origin, provided the film is theatrically exhibited outside of the United States and its territories for at least seven consecutive days in a commercial motion picture theater for paid admission (same rule as usual). Because of the ongoing closure of commercial motion
picture theaters worldwide due to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic country-selected films that had a previously planned theatrical release but are initially made available through a reputable commercial streaming distribution service or video on demand may qualify for Awards consideration in the International Feature Film category for the 94th Academy Awards under a few strong provisions!

Changes simultaneously rush at a family that seem far from a historical upheaval that destroys long-standing family traditions. The film merges various motifs and images. The motifs of a polygamous family caught in a civil war between White forces and enemies clash with horizontal and vertical images. The images of building interiors indicate where characters and history overlap with an outside scenery. The signs of violent events to come are foreshadowed against a static background. A rare film in the history of Central Asian films, it shows a civil war and the changes in women's lives under patriarchy and war.░░░░║► UZBEKISTAN ◄║░░░░
