About 2025 Oscar-Nominated Shorts: Live Action

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. We are honored to be a part of Peter LoPilato's Bloomington legacy of connecting our community with global cinematic treasure through our International Arthouse Series and dedicate our first Oscar Shorts screenings in over a decade to his memory.

The live-action line-up will include (with full film details forthcoming):

A Lien

Anuja

I’m Not a Robot

The Last Ranger

The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent

“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
