In de nacht van 9 op 10 februari worden in het Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles weer de felbegeerde Academy Awards uitgereikt. Net als vorig jaar staat de eerstvolgende dinsdag in Lumen helemaal in het teken van de Oscars. Naast drie speelfilms die verschillende nominaties hebben, vertonen we die avond de genomineerden in de categorie Best Animated Short Film.
Oscar Nominated Short Films – Animation
Zijn er ook Oscars voor korte films? Jazeker! Hoewel tijdens de met glitter en glamour omhangen uitreikingsceremonie de grote Amerikaanse speelfilms domineren, mogen we zeker de korte films niet vergeten. Ook zij verdienen de aandacht. In de korte film zijn jonge, talentvolle filmmakers actief die durven te experimenteren en vernieuwend te werk gaan. Dit jaar dingen er wederom een aantal korte juweeltjes mee voor de meest prestigieuze filmprijs van het jaar. In dit programma vertonen wij alle genomineerden in de categorie ‘Best Animation Short Film’. Het programma wordt gepresenteerd in samenwerking met ShortsTV en Go Short – International Short Film Festival Nijmegen.
Next edition of Go Short: 1 – 5 April 2020 | Nijmegen | www.goshort.nl |
