Save the date for this annual event. This is Wichita's chance to see Academy Award®-nominated short subjects-films running 40 minutes or less-in animation, live action and documentary categories. One of the first places in the nation to offer this program, Wichita's program attracts hundreds of film fans each year. All showings are free. Films are not rated and may not be suitable for all audiences.
Enjoy animated, live action and documentary categories at the 21st Street Warren Theatre, 9150 W. 21st St, and the Orpheum Theatre, 200 N. Broadway. Most branch library showings will feature animated and live action shorts, although the Rockwell Branch Library's will feature documentaries only. New this year is a Friday afternoon showing, and all showings take place before the big show - the Academy Awards® itself.

Nominees will be announced Tuesday, Jan. 24. Watch www.wichita.lib.ks.us for more information as nominees are announced.
