Movie this Month: A trio of short films
The Phone Call 2013 Academy Award Best Short Film, Live Action. This Oscar-award winning short film follows Heather, a shy lady who works at a help-line call center. When she receives a phone call from a mystery man, she has no idea that the encounter will change her life.
The Silent Child 2018 Academy Award Best Short Film, Live Action. Inspired by real-life events, Libby, a profoundly deaf child is nearing her first day at school. Her emotionally distant, overwhelmed mother and workaholic father seek out a quick fix to make their 'broken' child more equipped to handle the real world. A fresh-faced social worker, Joanne helps Libby transform. As the story emerges, it becomes clear that Libby is not the one who needs to be fixed.
Weekends 2017 Oscar-nominated animated. This short film tells the story of a young boy shuffling between the homes of his recently divorced parents. Surreal, dream-like moments mix with the domestic realities of a broken family in this hand-animated film set in 1980’s Toronto.
