Get ready for the 2014 Oscar Nominated Short Films, which open exclusively at the Magic Lantern on Friday, January 31st. My plan is too play the Live Action and Animation Programs the first week and then bring in the Documentaries which come in two parts the week after. It would be greatly appreciated if there was some feedback on whether or not there was interested in bringing the Doc Programs (these were my personal favorite of the entire program.
