Oscar Nominated Shorts: Documentary
Presented by the Edmonton International Film Festival Society!
The Documentary Shorts OSCARS® category has been an eye-opening and informative group of short films for many years, and this year is no different. Difficult and urgent issues like capital punishment, in-school violence, and police brutality are uncovered and scrutinized with care and artistry, while two music-themed shorts underline the effect of the arts, from the perspective of a 6 year old and an 87 year old. This programme doesn’t shy away from the ugliness present in our world, and doesn’t forget the beauty.
The film program runs 165-mins. and includes the following films:
- Death by Numbers – Dir: Kim A. Snyder (33-mins.) USA
- I Am Ready, Warden – Dir: Smriti Mundhra (37-mins.) USA
- Incident – Dir: Bill Morrison (30-mins.) USA
- Instruments of a Beating Heart – Dir: Ema Ryan Yamazaki (23-mins.) Japan (Japanese w/subs)
- The Only Girl in the Orchestra – Dir: Molly O’Brien (34-mins.) USA
