This is the only event in the Classic Film Series where tickets are required. The $15 admission gives entry to both sets of films. Tickets are general admission. Concessions including a cash bar will be available for purchase at our Ghost Light Bar in the elevator lobby. The theatre will open 30 minutes prior to showtime with concessions and seating beginning at that time as well.
A perennial hit with audiences around the country and the world, don’t miss this year’s Oscar-nominated selection of short films! The Academy Awards take place Sunday, March 12, so this is your chance to predict the winners!
Tibbits will host a special in-person screening of ShortsTV’s 2023 Academy Award Nominated Short Films in the categories of Best Animated Short Film and Best Live Action Short Film. Animated films will begin at 4:00pm followed by Live Action films around 6:00pm. *Please note that not all films will be suitable for all audiences.
ANIMATED SHORTS (Estimated Running Time: 97 min.)
Important Disclaimer: The Animated program features one adult-oriented title (MY YEAR OF DICKS). As in previous years, we will include a title card that will appear just before this film, which will be the final film in the line-up. The card will stay on screen for 30 seconds so that patrons have time to leave the theater if they choose to. Another animated short, THE FLYING SAILOR, includes some full-frontal nudity of the titular sailor but is otherwise unoffensive (and a really nice film).
