Oscar-Nominated Short Films At The IFC CenterTuesday, February 13----Short filmmakers, even those nominated for Academy Awards, can have a hard time showcasing their work for the general public. The heyday of short films being shown in theaters before the main feature have long gone. However, intrepid New Yorkers are in for a treat this coming weekend, when the IFC Center, downtown Manhattan's most dynamic arthouse theater, will present a program of the live-action and animated short films that are up for Oscar gold.
Well, intrepid gamblers or just those interested in the abundant international talents working in the short form, happily have Magnolia Pictures to thank for assembling ten of the nominees on two programs (live-action and animated, respectively) that begins this Friday at the IFC Center (http://www.ifccenter.com). THE DANISH POETThe Animated Short nominees are particularly strong this year, with two Disney titles (THE LITTLE MATCHGIRL and NO TIME FOR NUTS) that will inevitably show up on an animation compilation dvd before long. The films best poised to win the award on Oscar night seem to be GUIDE DOG, a typically wild and funny film about man's best friend, directed by American animation guru Bill Plympton; and THE DANISH POET, an autobiographical tale by Danish animator Torrill Kove that uses old-fashioned cel animation techique (as opposed to the high-tech computer generation that has become the international trademark of most animated films these days). The simplicity of the drawing matches the soulfulness of the story in this short film treat.
