Committee will now no longer include three permanent members.
France has overhauled the submissions committee that decides which film is submitted for the best international film (formerly foreign film) Oscar.
France has seen a 30-year drought in the category, with its last winner Régis Wargnier’s Indochine in 1993.
Previously the committee comprised three permanent members - Cannes Film Festival general delegate Thierry Fremaux, Unifrance president Serge Toubiana and César Academy co-president Véronique Cayla - serving alongside several one-year members.
The new rules issued by incoming culture minister Rima Abdul Malak on July 20 will see the removal of the permanent committee members.
