Looking for something to do this weekend? Check out the Oscar Shorts Festival at the Art Center Cinema.
See all of the Oscar Short 2021 nominations Friday through Monday at the Art Center Cinema, 150 S. Santa Fe Avenue. The regular ticket price is $10 per show, $6 for art center members, $8 for seniors. You also can get a festival ticket for $24 to see all three categories.
For more than 10 years, Salina Art Center Cinema has been hosting the Oscar Shorts Festival. With all three categories offered — Animated, Live Action, and Documentary — this is your annual chance to see all the nominees.
A short film is typically considered to be a movie that is less than 30 minutes in length. Director and producer George Miller said, "Short films make up a unique medium, one that lends itself neatly to subtler scenes and visual experimentation. They also, not-so-coincidentally, carve out a space for voices often quelled in the world of big-budget blockbusters."
You can also win in the cinema's annual Oscar Predictions Contest. Visit salinaartcenter.org/Oscar-shorts-festival to fill out an Oscar Predictions Contest Ballot. If you guess the most correct winners, you receive a "Movies worth Sharing" package, including two SAC Cinema tickets, small popcorn, and two small drinks.
