Independent Bosnia has submitted eight films for consideration and one, Danis Tanović's No Man's Land, has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. No Man's Land went on to win the award at the 74th Academy Awards. Many Bosnian actors and directors worked on films submitted by Yugoslavia prior to the breakup of the country in 1991.
