Frequently Asked Questions
Where do these shorts come from?
Each year, we scour the globe for the best new films from around the world for kids and families to screen at our annual, Oscar® qualifying Festival. After the Festival, we select the most beloved, audience favorite and award-winning films and curate them into brand new programs to screen at independent cinemas, museums, libraries, and community centers around the country.
What are the shorts?
A complete lineup is listed for each program. View them here.
Can I watch the shorts before I book them?
Of course. Screeners are available for all programs. To request a screener, click on the request a screener button above.
