Coral Gables Cinema. From February 8 through 15, 2013.
The Oscars come early to South Florida with the Exclusive Miami Premiere of the always-popular Oscar Nominated Short Films 2013 programs, starting this Friday, February 8, for one week only, at the Coral Gables Art Cinema. For the first time in true theatrical-standard state-of-the-art 2K Digital Cinema Projection, audiences will have a chance to watch the shorts prior to the 85th Academy Awards ceremony at the end of the month.
The three categories will be screened in four separate regular-priced programs – one live action, one animation and two documentary shows – throughout the week, with each hosted on-screen by past Oscar short winners. After each screening audience members will be able to cast their vote for their favorite film in the program they watched; if they predict the actual Oscar winner they will be eligible to win a grand prize awarded by the Cinema. See a listing and description of the films in each program below.
On Thursday, February 14, at the 6:30 pm screening of the Oscar Nominated Short Films 2013 Documentary A program there will be a live-video link Q&A with the co-directors of Inocente, Sean and Andrea Fine. The Fines are Academy Award-nominated directors and three-time Emmy award winners (War/Dance). For the last decade, they have worked in over thirty countries, from dangerous war zones to the Arctic Circle, to bring unknown human stories to the screen.
