Utopia is a 2015 Afghan drama film directed by Hassan Nazer and produced by Chris Robb. The film was selected as the Afghan entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but it was not nominated. However, it was disqualified a few days prior to its Academy screening for having too much dialogue in English. The Afghan filmmakers union tried to appeal, citing the language breakdown by minutes, but the appeal was unsuccessful.
