An annual tradition prior to the Oscars, The Center and Magic Lantern give film lovers the chance to see all the Oscar nominated shorts in four evenings.

Running time for Animated Shorts is 75 minutes.

Please consider these rated PG (themes dealt with in these shorts include Alzheimer’s disease, divorce and the death of a parent. Nothing offensive here, just slightly heave themes. Suitable for children around 8/9 and up. Please note that there is some scary imagery in WEEKENDS that might not be great for much younger kids.)
