  • Canada's Foreign-language Oscar Submission To Be Announced Today In Montreal
MONTREAL — Telefilm Canada is set to reveal Canada's pick for best-foreign language film at the Oscars.
 
The announcement will be made official in Montreal later today.
 
The selection is made by a 23-member committee made up of government and film industry representatives.
 
Canada has had four movies compete in the category in the past six years.
 
Last year's submission was Maxime Giroux's "Felix et Meira," but it was not chosen as a finalist for the prize.
 
The last Canadian film to earn a foreign-language Oscar nomination was Kim Nguyen's "Rebelle" in 2013.
