Oscar Shorts 2025:
LIVE ACTION

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premieres of the 2025 Oscar Nominated Live Action Shorts Feb. 14-20 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon and Mary D. Fisher Theatres.

Now an annual film festival tradition, Sedona audiences will be able to see all of the short films nominated for Academy Awards before the Oscar telecast on March 2. A perennial hit with audiences around the country (and the world), don’t miss this year’s selection of shorts. All of the Live Action Short Film nominees will be featured in this program.

The Oscar-nominated Live Action Shorts Program will include:
• A Lien (USA): On the day of their green card interview, a young couple confronts a dangerous immigration process.
• Anuja (USA): “Anjula” tells the story of a gifted nine-year-old girl who, alongside her sister Palak, faces a life-changing opportunity that tests their bond and mirrors the struggles of girls worldwide.
• I’m Not a Robot (Belgium/Netherlands): After repeatedly failing CAPTCHA tests, music producer Lara becomes obsessed with a disturbing question: could she be a robot?
• The Last Ranger (South Africa): When young Litha is introduced to the magic of a game reserve by the last remaining ranger, they are ambushed by poachers. In the ensuing battle to save the rhinos, Litha discovers a terrible secret.
• The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent (Croatia): In the middle of winter, a passenger train is stopped by paramilitary forces. As they arrest innocent civilians, only one man out of 500 dares to stand up to them. This is the true story of a man who could not remain silent.

The Oscar Live Action Shorts Program will show: Friday and Saturday, Feb. 14 and 15 at 6:30 p.m.; Sunday and Thursday, Feb. 16 and 20 at 4:00 p.m.; and Monday and Wednesday, Feb. 17 and 19 at 3:30 p.m.
