Don't miss this rare opportunity to really get an edge over everybody else in your Oscar pool by seeing all five Academy Award nominees in the category of Best Live Action Short. Program includes:
"Do I Have to Take Care of Everything?" (Finland), in which Mother Sini, late for a wedding, is going crazy since nobody else in her family seems to be able to do anything right.
"Helium" (Denmark), in which a hospital's eccentric janitor helps a young dying boy regain the joy and happiness of life.
"Just Before Losing Everything" (France), in which Miriam hurries to pick up her children to take them to her work place, and explains to her boss that she has to leave the region in a rush.
"That Wasn’t Me" (Spain), the story of Paula and Kaney, an African child and a Spanish woman, who could have nothing in common, but will get to join their lives forever through a life-giving shot.
"The Voorman Problem" (UK), in which Doctor Williams is called in to examine the enigmatic Mr. Voorman, a prisoner who believes he is a god.
