Oscar Winner - God of Love |
Summary
In addition to the ten nominated films (including two Oscar winners) we've added funny commercials from around the world and two bonus films so that each program will have an equal number of Live-Action and Animated films.
Come early, park once — you can socialize, drink and dine between or before the programs. Make time to treat yourself to these outstanding short films, and bring your friends!!
CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2011 —
We value the Cincinnati World Cinema film community that has grown over time and will hold ticket pricing at prior-year levels, especially in light of the economic conditions in our area.
The sudden prohibition of popcorn at the Redmoor was another factor in changing the event location. We believe that popcorn is to movies what hotdogs and peanuts are to baseball - a traditional part of the experience.
Sometimes unexpected changes produce positive results and we think this year's Oscar Shorts & More will be one of our best presentations!
At The Madison, all chairs can face the screen – no banquette seats facing sideways. You'll also appreciate the absence of those "always on" ceiling spotlights that detracted from cinema ambiance.

The interaction between these two characters takes place via 3d illustrations within each of their outlines. MORE...

The film relates a sadly frequent episode of this fratricidal conflict: the attack by rebels on a minivan carrying ordinary citizens. A Kalashnikov bursts out. The bus stops, the passengers get off. An order is barked: "Hutus to the left, Tutsis to the right!" The sorting out begins. But who is a Hutu, who is a Tutsi? Based entirely on real people and situations, NA WEWE was written by a person who has lived in the beauty of Burundi and suffered the horrors of genocide -- he was shot by a military patrol, rendered blind and wrote the screenplay to share the images in his head. With emotion, suspense, irony and humor it exposes the absurdity of racism and ethnic strife. "NA WEWE" (pronounced "Na wayway") means "You too" in Kirundi. MORE...

Lounge singer and darts champion Raymond Goodfellow finds his prayers are answered — literally — when he receives a mysterious package of passion-inducing darts. The catch is that the one woman he loves – Kelly, a drummer in his band – is already in love with Ray's best friend Fozzie, the guitarist in the band. But when Ray uses the darts in a loony scheme to resolve this strange romantic triangle, he learns a surprising lesson about unrequited love and discovers his own place in the universe. Romance is in the air in this bohemian charmer. Born and raised in Delaware, Luke Matheny is a Brooklyn, N.Y.-based director, writer, actor and professor.
