About this Event

General Admission tickets: $12.00 per session, or $30 for all three sessions.

Join us as we screen every nominated short film in the Live-action, Animated, and Documentary categories. With “Sinners” and its record-breaking 16 nominations dominating much of the discussion leading up to the ceremony, it’s important to remember the recognition of short-form filmmakers from all over the world. This will be your best opportunity to see all of these films in one place the weekend before the awards!

Screening Times:

12:15-1:45 PM Animated Short(s) Session

2:15-4:15 PM Live Action Short(s) Session

5:45-8:25 PM Documentary Short(s) Session

All tickets sales are considered a donation to The Aurora Film society and The Fox Valley Music Foundation.


The Aurora Film Society

Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $70 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting. We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue.
