The Arts Council of White Lake-Nuveen has announced it will host a screening of Oscar-nominated short films Thursday, Feb 27 and Friday, Feb 28, both at 6 p.m. These will consist of documentary and live-action shorts, respectively.
Around this time last year, the ACWL screened films from the Sundance Film Tour, a critically acclaimed film festival. After those screenings' success and positive feedback from attendees, the arts council decided to fully embrace modern films and share them with the people of White Lake. This screening is credited to SHORTS, a theatrical distribution company that organizes viewings of Oscar-nominated shorts.
These screenings will allow attendees to view these shorts and discuss their thoughts before the Academy Awards, which take place Sunday, March 2.
The documentary shorts being shown are “Death by Numbers,” “I am Ready, Warden,” “Instruments of a Beating Heart” and “The Only Girl in the Orchestra.”
The live-action shorts being shown are “Alien,” “Anuja,” “I’m Not a Robot,” “The Last Ranger” and “The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent.”
More information can be found, and tickets can be purchased, on ACWL’s website. Tickets are $15 per screening or $25 for both screenings. Popcorn and beverages are included in the ticket price. Additionally, the Arts Council has organized an Oscar prediction contest for both the documentary and live-action shorts. The winner will receive a $30 gift card to NorthStar Cinemas.
