Local cinephiles will have an opportunity to view this year\u2019s Academy Award-nominated short films before the Oscars, as Fresno Filmworks hosts its annual Oscar Shorts showcase this evening\u00a0 and Saturday.<\/p>\n

The two-day event take places at the Old Administration Building at Fresno City College (1101 E. University Avenue), bringing a global celebration of cinema to the Central Valley.<\/p>\n

The festival features nominees across the Academy\u2019s three short film categories: Animated, Live Action, and Documentary<\/a>. Rather than screening the films individually, organizers have grouped them by category. Each category is presented as its own distinct program and played straight through, offering audiences a traditional feature-length theater experience.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Screenings kick off Friday evening and continue through Saturday afternoon and evening, with a total of five programs scheduled across the two days.<\/p>\n

Fresno Filmworks promotes the annual showcase as a chance for both longtime film fans and first-time attendees to discover emerging filmmakers and experience powerful storytelling from around the world on the big screen.<\/p>\n

Due to adult language, mature themes, and sensual images across the nominated works, the festival programs are recommended for audiences 17 and older.<\/p>\n

Attendees can purchase single-program tickets, day passes, or an early-bird All-Access Pass for $35<\/a>, which grants entry to every screening throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n
