Election Distraction

With this last minute series of two films you get to choose both of ’em!

We really wanted to share these two very enjoyable films with you. Both will play on Nov. 4th and Nov. 5th so you can forget about other things for a while. Both titles will show at the Cowboy Carousel Center at 59 N. Lobban in Buffalo, WY.

2016 Oscar Nominated Shorts

Tickets On Sale!

SHORTSHD_2016_OSCAR_POSTER_USA_250PX_HIGHThis year Bennett Street Films is revisiting our collaboration with the Cowboy Carousel Center (CCC).

Our presentation of the 2016 Oscar Nominated Shorts will take place on Sunday, February 21st, 2016. This is the same as last year when we only had one showing of each program. The films will show in the micro-theater inside the CCC.

Online Ticket Purchase

Animated Program – 4PM. Doors open at 3:30PM

Live Action Program – 7PM. Doors open at 6:30PM

Both Programs Bundled for One Purchase

(Un)Ratings

Though the Oscar Shorts are unrated, some of you have asked for basic ratings guidelines for the programs:

Animated – PG (mostly). With one clear 6 minute exception that is likely not suitable for children.

Live Action – R. There are several shorts in this year’s program that parents might want to restrict their children from watching. Also, please remember, some audience members can find it uncomfortable to watch mature content while sitting next to children.

2016 Ballot – In case you’d like to vote and see how you do compared to the Academy judges! Download available with purchase of a ticket or in hardcopy when you show up at the door.

Last but not at all least, please acknowledge and remember to thank the folks at the Cowboy Carousel Center and the publishers of the Buffalo Bulletin. There’s a good chance this wouldn’t be happening without their support.

This year Bennett Street Films is trying out a little collaboration with the Cowboy Carousel Center and several other important sponsors.

Our co-presentation of the 2015 Oscar Nominated Shorts will take place on Saturday, February 21st, 2015. The films will show in the micro-theater the CCC has worked hard to build.

(Un)Ratings

Though the Oscar Shorts are unrated, some of you have asked for basic ratings guidelines for the programs:

Animated – PG. One of the shorts, THE BIGGER PICTURE, deals with the death of a parent. There’s nothing particularly upsetting about it, but it’s not going to appeal to the youngest viewers. FOOTPRINTS, one of the extra shorts, is a bit dark as well. Kids over eight should not have a problem with anything here (they just might not like a couple of the films).

Live Action – PG-13. Unlike previous years, no violence or tragedy in this year’s crop. Some cursing, but should be acceptable for any kids over 11 or 12. It’s one of the stronger Live Action programs we’ve had in a long time.

2015 Ballot – In case you’d like to vote and see how you do compared to the Academy judges!

Last but not at all least, please acknowledge and remember to thank these sponsors who’s generosity has made this possible:
