There is no award in the world more popular and desirable than the award of the American Film Academy. The glory of "Oscar" does not know the state borders - in spite of the fact that non-American films can only get into the selected nominations. Among them - the category of short films. Here are going to be outstanding films from around the world. They are small in footage, but in artistic merit they often outperform the "heavyweights" from the "main" nominations. For five years in a row, all Oscar-nominated games and animation work have gone into Russian rentals. New Year - new masterpieces: acute social and romantic, realistic and almost fabulous, very different, but necessarily - spectacular. "Oscar" always remembers the viewer: no matter what the film was, it should be interesting - the credo of the Film Academy.

In the short-list of shorts for Oscar-2017, only Europeans. Luxurious Franco-Swiss fantasy "Woman and high-speed train" with the great Jane Birkin is an example of sentimental beauty in the spirit of "Amelie". French psychological thriller about the evils of European democracy "Internal enemies" - a movie with a high social responsibility. "Quiet nights" from Denmark make the current topic of African migrants into an ideal love melodrama. The Hungarian drama "Choir" is a masterpiece of moral unrest, a private story in which the global social order is reflected. The Spanish comedy "Timekod", which has already seized the gold of the Cannes festival, is a universal holiday of pure cinema, witty, sensual, plastic. Five films that can not be missed and can not be forgotten. In the cinemas "Oscar shorts" is released from March 23.
