Is it too much pressure to put on first grade students, asking them to perform an orchestral version of Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy”? Can adult brothers bond over their mutual baldness? If our toys and furniture could suddenly talk to us, what might they say? What is the U.S. immigration system like for those being hunted? If you repeatedly fail Captcha tests, is it possible you’re a robot? These and many other offbeat questions—some sobering, some silly—are developed in unique, imaginative, and unpredictable ways in this compendium of Oscar-nominated short films. Live action, animation, and documentary genres are all here, providing a rollercoaster ride of emotions, tones, seriousness, and humor. These films come from all over the world (Japan, France, South Africa, Croatia, India) and offer an exhilarating range of fresh creative talent—all in the service of cinema’s trickiest format, the short film. Nuanced acting, finely-detailed characterization, arresting narratives—they’re all showcased here, in concentrated form, without a minute or a word of dialogue wasted. We revisit the bruising emotions of first love, the raw pain of a school shooting survivor confronting her assailant, the tough decision of a child with a once-in-a-lifetime shot at getting an education; there’s hilarity and heartbreak, sometimes within the same film. The common thread linking these films is the spirit of filmmaking joy. There’s excitement and ambition and passion behind every entry, and whenever someone claims that “movies are dead,” they just need to visit this Oscar Shorts program every year to feel reenergized and reconnected with the pleasure that brings us into the movie theater.     

(Unrated; some films may contain mature themes, profanity, drug use, violence, or nudity. Some films may be subtitled.)

“Out of the Picture” takes us inside the lives of some of the most relevant writers on art today, thinkers who are making sense of a period of unprecedented change to art and media. For more than a decade, the filmmakers turned their cameras on critics navigating these rapidly changing landscapes, including Carolina Miranda, of the Los Angeles Times; Hrag Vartanian, of Hyperallergic; Jen Graves, of The Stranger; Jeneé Osterheldt of The Boston Globe; and Seph Rodney, independent critic. “Out of the Picture” is poised to prompt a conversation about the nature of art, modern life and how meaning gets made in the 21st century.
