We’re right on the eve of the 93rd Academy Awards, and in an attempt to foreground the typically under-discussed short film categories, this review series tackles each of the three fields – Animated, Live-Action, and Documentary.
True to form, this year’s batch of live-action nominees offer hard-hitting depictions of urgent social issues from around the globe, presenting an appealingly diverse array of subjects in the process.
Despite the potential for grimness, the deft tonal switch-footing from the filmmakers ensures a glint of hope emanates from the majority of the selections, most of which would be worthy winners on Oscar night.
