    Is there anyway to see the other shorts nominated besides The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore?

  • http://www.andrewsallen.com Andrew S Allen

    SUNDAY and WILD LIFE are available as free streaming for a limited time thanks to the NFB at http://www.nfb.ca/oscars/

    You can’t see Sunday and Wild Life from where I live :-( Hoping that some more links will appear :-)

  • Majer

    Nevermind. I was wrong ;-)

    I was a little sad that the excellent Luminaris didn’t make the cut after appearing on the shortlist. It’s a pretty impressive bit of stop-action work with real actors.

  • Jiller

    Yeah, last year I was able to find almost all of the shorts on-line on way or another. This year I have not found a single one. :(

    I got a chance to see Luminaris and was quite impressed as well. technically impressive, but with a very playful, outlandish sensibility.

    Lucy Walker’s doc “The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom” is devastating. Perhaps a little overlong, and maybe a little forced in its thesis, it nevertheless is gorgeous and horrifying, awesome and human all at once. I was very impressed.

  • Matthilaire

    Same here please, I’m dying to watch the shorts, I live in Argentina and they aren’t showing them here at all. If i could buy them on iTunes I would but that’s not even an option. Anyone who could help me please, send me an email with the link on where I could watch any of the 15 (I was able to watch the ones on NFB)
    My email is matthilaire@hotmail:twitter .com 
    THANKS

  • Mitch

    iTunes will be releasing the shorts on February 20th, so we will be able to see them all before the Oscars!

    Sweet!

  • Majer

     Outside the US as well? :-)

  • Majer

    Normally, these short films are released (legally) online for the public to enjoy before the Oscars – this year seems to be a lot more hush-hush. I wonder why?

  • Majer

     Not all of them of course, but quite a few.

  • Vlad

    You can on YouTube.

    I just saw the nominated documentary shorts. I vote for Incident in New Baghdad. It was the perfect short documentary — focused subject,  important subject matter, and very good production values.

    Anyone knows if there are available already? Cause I only found Flyy¡ing books…? Still looking for a link somewhere to watch them all before next Saturday

  • Matthilaire

    Where did you see them? BTW, if you have an iOS device I found a pretty cool app called Meet The Oscars where you can keep track on every nominated movie you watched from this year and back till the beginning of the Awards.
