Australia has officially selected The Wolves Always Come at Night (a joint Australian, Mongolian, and German production) as its entry for the Best International Feature category at the 2026 Academy Awards.

The film tells the story of herder D.Davaasuren’s family from Bayankhongor, who are forced to leave their homeland and move to Ulaanbaatar due to the impacts of climate change. Sixteen films competed for the Australian nomination, with The Wolves Always Come at Night ultimately chosen.
