The Oscar Shorts Film Festival

Bloomington, IN 47401

We will once again showcase the 10 Oscar nominees for Best Short Animation and Live Action Film at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater.

Here’s a chance to see the films that critics are raving about and predict the Oscar-winners before the Academy Awards on February 9th. And don’t forget to vote – ask for a ballot when you enter the theater. If you pick one of the eventual Oscar winners, you’ll win a complimentary ticket to another film and you might also win Dinner for Two at at one of our fine local restaurants.

Hollywood movies are often impersonal and risk-free — creative decisions are made by lawyers and accountants. The Oscar Shorts are a celebration of intimate, personal storytelling. Each filmmaker leaves his or her fingerprints on the material.
