WILLIAMS POND LODGE PRESENTS the 2012 Oscar Nominated Shorts

ONE Ticket gets you into both categories!
Animated portion is 79 minutes & live-action is 107 minutes

There will be an intermission between collections so feel free to come to and go as you please or stay for all!

We will show two collections that encompass the animated and live-action selections of short films that have been honored with Oscar nominations. The animated group includes: a silent story of a man and a chicken who pass each other on a morning stroll; a hybrid use of techniques that is a poignant, humorous allegory of the curative powers of "story;" a look at Sunday, every time the same routine!; a (Pixar) fable of a young boy coming of age under peculiar circumstances; and a comparison of an Englishman who moves to but is unsuited for life on the Canadian frontier to a comet. (plus a few honorable mentions)

The live action group includes: a dilemma faced by an altar boy who must choose between the church and his love of football; a neurotic inventor whose time machine leaves him stuck in yesterday; a story of the emotions faced by couples wishing to adopt; six days before he dies, Oskar is ready to forgive his brother for a long-ago disagreement, but will he find him?; and the reconciliation between two long ago best friends that leads to hilarious confusion.

A look at how the intense relationship between Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud gives birth to psychoanalysis.

"David Cronenberg's absorbing "A Dangerous Method" involves a few years during which the entire field was largely invented (if I may say so) in the association of Freud (Viggo Mortensen), Jung (Michael Fassbender) and a woman named Sabina Spielrein (Keira Knightley), who began as their patient and became their colleague."
--Roger Ebert
