Don't miss this rare opportunity to see all five Academy Award nominees in the category of Best Live Action Short! Program includes the winner The Silent Child (UK), centering around a profoundly deaf four-year-old girl who is born into a middle class family and lives in a world of silence until a caring social worker teaches her the gift of communication; Dekalb Elementary (USA), inspired by a 911 call placed during a school shooting incident in Atlanta, Georgia; My Nephew Emmett (USA), set in 1955 and based on the true story of a Mississippi preacher who tries to protect his 14-year-old nephew, Emmett Till, from two racist killers out for blood; The Eleven O’Clock (Australia), in which the delusional patient of a psychiatrist believes he is actually the psychiatrist, causing each to treat the other as the session gets out of control; and Watu Wote - All of Us (Germany/Kenya). For almost a decade Kenya has been targeted by terrorist attacks of the Al-Shabaab. An atmosphere of anxiety and mistrust between Muslims and Christians is growing. Until in December 2015, Muslim bus passengers showed that solidarity can prevail.
