Animation Excellence: An Evening with Oscar® Winner Chris Wedge

Escape the winter chill and immerse yourself in the magic of animation at our special Oscar® Shorts showcase. The evening begins with a screening of "Bunny," the 1998 Oscar-winning animated short written and directed by our special guest and NFAC Board Member, Chris Wedge. Following this classic, enjoy this year's complete collection of Oscar-nominated animated shorts.

After the screenings, join us for an intimate Film Club discussion with NFAC Board member and Oscar-winning animator Chris Wedge (creator of "Ice Age," "Robots," and "Bunny"). Chris will share insights on animation craftsmanship, the Academy Awards®, and the unique storytelling power of short films.

This exceptional event is part of our complete Oscar® Shorts program—featuring Animated, Live Action, and Documentary categories—and serves as the perfect prelude to our grand Oscar® celebration on Sunday, which includes our Pre-Oscar Cocktail Party and live screening of the Academy Awards®.
