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

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.
