Oscar-nominated shorts depict human interactions
What the nominees of the Academy Awards Live Action Short Films category have in common, often more than anything else, is that few people watch them. This year, there is another theme that draws this diverse bunch together: meetings. There are meetings between strangers who become friends, between strangers who may never meet again, between different species and even between different worlds. The majority of these films do an imperfect job exploring the central theme of interaction.
