Oscar nominated short films are available through the Fredonia Opera House.
The 1891 Fredonia Opera House Performing Arts Center has launched its latest round of films that can be streamed online in the Opera House Screening Room, featuring the 2021 Oscar-nominated short films.
The Opera House Screening Room provides movies and other digital programming online to its patrons in the wake of the continued COVID restrictions which have restricted the theatre’s opening. The cost of streaming the films varies, depending on the film. The revenue generated is shared by the Opera House and the film studios. “Since we are not yet reopened, this is one way of providing our patrons with access to programming, and of generating income for the Opera House to help ensure its survival,” says Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis.

It feels like a very long time since I wrote about last year’s Oscar-nominated short subjects, and indeed it’s been slightly
more than a year in 2020, the shorts were released theatrically in January, immediately prior to the Academy’s Feb. 9 awards ceremony. This year, the pandemic has pushed the Oscars all the way to April 25, and the shorts are only now being made available via Rialto Cinemas Elmwood and the Virtual Roxie.
There are a whopping eight films in this year’s animation category, and, to be honest, it’s a fairly weak crop. By far the best of the bunch is Erick Oh’s
It’s Oscar season, which means around here it’s Oscar
Shorts season! For the 35th year, the Wichita Public Library is offering the animated, live action, and documentary short films that are up for Academy Awards, and while nowadays they’re all readily accessible to just about anyone, anywhere, we Wichitans do like to remind people that for decades, Wichita was the
only place outside New York and L.A. where people could see the shorts programs.
Like just about everything, this year, the library’s exhibitions are going online, and for the next 30 days starting today, you can watch any or all of the shorts by registering through the library’s website there are a limited number of spots, and registration has been open for a while, but if you hop on it soon, you should be able to get in without a problem.
