The Oscar Showcase Tour presents the Best Animated Short Film Nominees

We welcome you to join us for an in-person screening and Q&A for the 98th Oscar® nominated films for the Academy Award® for Best Animated Short hosted by the UCLA Animation Workshop.

For 25 years, The Animation Show of Shows has lead an industry tour for the Academy Award Nominees the week before the Oscars. It's a marvelous opportunity for the Los Angeles animation community to step up and make the nominees feel welcome.

We are grateful to the Nominees and their distributors for making these films available, to The UCLA Animation Workshop for hosting, and to ASIFA Hollywood and WIA for helping get the word out to their members.

Attendees must resigster (for free) to enter, tickets required at door.

Students from all campuses are welcome, though seating is limited so RSVP right away!

Doors open at 6:30PM on Sunday, March 8th, and screening begins at 7:00PM. This presentation is anticipated to last approximately two hours.
