About 2025 Oscar-Nominated Shorts: Documentary
For the first time since 2012, IU Cinema is happy to present a big-screen experience for the Oscar-nominated short films. Traditionally, these shorts program have been offered to our community by the Ryder Film Series.

The documentary line-up will include (with full film details forthcoming):
Death By Numbers
I Am Ready, Warden
Incident
Instruments of a Beating Heart
The Only Girl in the Orchestra
“These programs treat movie-lovers to an unpredictable batch of films from all over the world, with a wide variety of themes, tones and textures.” — Collin Souter, RogerEbert.com
