Overview
For the 18th consecutive year, ShortsTV presents the Oscar-Nominated Short Films, opening on Feb. 17th. With all three categories offered – Animated, Live Action and Documentary – this is your annual chance to predict the winners (and have the edge in your Oscar pool)! A perennial hit with audiences around the country and the world, don’t miss this year’s selection of shorts. The Academy Awards take place Sunday, March 12th.
For the Animation Short program, four of the films are suitable for kids 10 and up, but the final film, MY YEAR OF DICKS, is for adult audiences only. This 30-second interstitial card will appear prior to My Year of Dicks: "The following Oscar-nominated short film is intended for adult audiences and is not suitable for children. There will be a short break at this time so that patrons, if they choose, can exit the auditorium."
Starting this weekend, the Civic Theatre will begin selling Oscar Ballots for our annual contest. Ballots will be $20/submission, with the closest ballot winning 50% of the funds raised!
