Showcase of Academy Award Nominated Documentaries and Shorts - William G. McGowan Theater - February 20 - February 24, 2008
The Academy of Motion Arts and Sciences, The Charles Guggenheim Center for the Documentary Film and the Foundation for the National Archives have gotten together for the last four years to screen the Oscar nominees for Documentaries and Shorts at the William G. McGowan Theater located at the National Archives in Washington D.C.
These are films that are rarely seen by the public. Documentary features have enjoyed wider releases over the past decade or so, but these films are usually only in theaters for a short time. As for the shorts, unless you are an academy voter, there is little to no opportunity to see these films on the big screen.
Thank goodness for billionaires who had so much money they had to give some of it to the arts. And thank goodness I live in DC where most things artsy are free. I can't make it to every screening but check the blog for the screening I do get to attend.
