COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) – The Tibbits Classic Film Series will showcase the Academy Award nominees for best animated and best live action short films at the Tibbits Opera House on Saturday, February 18.
It’s the fifth year Tibbits is presenting the films before the Academy Awards take place.
Tibbits film curator Matt Biolchini says, “You have a chance to be among the select few to see these films on the big screen.”
A short film is any motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits, per guidelines set forth by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In the past, short films generally relied on exhibitions at festivals to reach an audience, often with the short films shown at Sundance and Cannes, the biggest festivals.
While there are three categories-live action, animation, and documentary- Tibbits will be showing nominations in the first two categories.
This special presentation of the Oscar-Nominated Shorts will begin with Animated films at 4:00 p.m. followed by Live Action films at 6:30 p.m..
The $15 cost gains audience members entrance to both sets of films.
Some trailers or films, including the animated shorts, may not be appropriate for younger audiences and contain explicit content.
