The affiliation follows an acceptance by the Academy and formed PNG Oscar Awards Selection Committee in November last year. This committee was formally recognized by the Minister for Tourism Arts and Culture, Isi Henry Leonard, in Port Moresby on Friday (25th March, 2022).

The PNG Oscar Awards Selection Committee members include the director of national film Institute, Michelle Baru, as chairperson, Director of Institute of PNG Studies, Prof. Don Niles, UPNG Pro Vice Chancellor, Prof. Betty Lovai, film producer, Ms Liane Munau, research coordinator and ABC media development Initiative Ms Joys Eggins and the founder and chairman of IBS University, Sir Mick Nades.

This is yet another milestone achievement by the National Cultural Commission in partnership with the Native Arts and Fashion Academy (NAFA). The affiliation with the Oscar Awards means that Papua New Guineans can now submit its films of various categories for consideration of their excellence awards, more specifically for the international Feature Film category thereby paving a way forward to blossoming of another big industry in Papua New Guinea. Some of those films included Wakabaut Blong Tonte, Maribe and Tukana, which won several international awards.
