The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premieres of the 2021 Oscar Nominated Shorts Programs April 2-8 at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
Now an annual film festival tradition, Sedona audiences will be able to see all of the short films nominated for Academy Awards before the Oscar telecast on April 25. A perennial hit with audiences around the country (and now the world), don’t miss this year’s selection of shorts.
The Oscar-nominated Animated Shorts Program will include:
• Burrow (USA): A young rabbit embarks on a journey to dig the burrow of her dreams, despite not having a clue what she’s doing. Rather than reveal to her neighbors her imperfections, she digs herself deeper and deeper into trouble.
• Genius Loci (France): One night, Reine, a young loner, sees among the urban chaos a moving oneness that seems alive, like some sort of guide.
• If Anything Happens I Love You (USA): Grieving parents struggle with the loss of their daughter after a school shooting. An elegy on grief.
• Opera (USA): “Opera” is a massive 8K size animation installation project which portrays our society and history, which is filled with beauty and absurdity.
• Yes-People (Iceland): One morning an eclectic mix of people face the everyday battle, such as work, school and dish-washing. As the day progresses, their relationships are tested and ultimately their capacity to cope.
The program will also include additional animated films from the Oscar shortlist as bonus material, including:
• The Snail and the Whale (UK/Germany)
• Kapaemahu (USA)
• To Gerard (USA)
