SUMMARY:Oscar Nominated Short Films: Live Action
DESCRIPTION:A yearly treat to see each of the Oscar Nominated Animated and Live Action Short Films prior to the awards presentation (which is on Sunday\, February 28 this year)!\n\n \n\nFILMS\n\n \n\nAve Maria   dir. Basil Khalil\, Palestine/France/Germany\, 15 minutes\n\nSYNOPSIS: Five nuns living in the West Bank find their routine disrupted when the car of a family of Israeli settlers breaks down outside the convent. Unable to use the telephone due to Sabbath restrictions\, the family needs help from the nuns\, but the sisters' vow of silence requires them to work with their visitors to find an unorthodox solution.\n\nShok   dir. Jamie Donoughue\, Kosovo/UK\, 21 minutes\n\nSYNOPSIS: In Kosovo in 1998\, two young boys are best friends living normal lives\, but as war engulfs their country\, their daily existence becomes filled with violence and fear. Soon\, the choices they make threaten not only their friendship\, but their families and their lives.\n\nEverything Will Be OK   dir. Patrick Vollrath\, Germany/Austria\, 30 minutes\n\nSYNOPSIS: Michael\, a divorced father devoted to his eight-year-old daughter\, Lea\, picks her up for their usual weekend together. At first it feels like a normal visit\, but Lea soon realizes that something is different\, and so begins a fateful journey.\n\nStutterer   dir. Benjamin Cleary\, UK/Ireland\, 12 minutes\n\nSYNOPSIS: For a lonely typographer\, an online relationship has provided a much-needed connection without revealing the speech impediment that has kept him isolated. Now\, however\, he is faced with the proposition of meeting his online paramour in the flesh\, and thereby revealing the truth about himself.\n\nDay One   dir. Henry Hughes\, USA\, 25 minutes\n\nSYNOPSIS: On the heels of a painful divorce\, an Afghan-American woman joins the U.S. military as an interpreter and is sent to Afghanistan. On her first mission\, she accompanies troops pursuing a bomb-maker\, and must bridge the gender and culture gap to help the man's pregnant wife when she goes into labor.
