FREE Screening of Academy Award Short Films

Sharing is caring!

The Wichita Public Library will once again host FREE screenings of the Annual Academy Award Nominated Short Films in 2025.

Wichita Public Library was one of the first organizations in the nation to provide a way for communities outside of major cities like New York and LA to see the nominated films.

Since 1986, the Library has annually previewed the short films nominated in the animated, live-action, and documentary categories at various times, dates, and locations, free and open to the public.

The Academy Award Shorts viewing will kick off with an all-day screening February 22, 2025 in the Advanced Learning Library Conference Center. 

The Oscar-nominated short films are each 40 minutes or less, in the categories of Animation, Live Action, and Documentary. Admission is free for all showings.
