Academy Award-Nominated Short Films 2015
BOYHOOD

http://images.amcnetworks.com/ifccenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/boyhood_592x299.jpg
Nominated for 6 Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Supporting Actor (Ethan Hawke), Best Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette) / Golden Globe Winner: Best Picture, Best Director (Richard Linklater), Best Supporting Actress (Patricia Arquette) / Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater’s BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s “Yellow” to Arcade Fire’s “Deep Blue.” BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It’s impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey.

CITIZENFOUR

In January 2013, filmmaker Laura Poitras was in the process of constructing a film about abuses of national security in post-9/11 America when she started receiving encrypted e-mails from someone identifying himself as “citizen four,” who was ready to blow the whistle on the massive covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies. In June 2013, she and reporter Glenn Greenwald flew to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with the man who turned out to be Edward Snowden. She brought her camera with her. The film that resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely sui generis in the history of cinema: a 100% real-life thriller unfolding minute by minute before our eyes. Poitras is a great and brave filmmaker, but she is also a masterful storyteller: she compresses the many days of questioning, waiting, confirming, watching the world’s reaction and agonizing over the next move, into both a great character study of Snowden and a narrative that will leave you on the edge of your seat as it inexorably moves toward its conclusion. CITIZENFOUR is a major work on multiple levels, and a deeply unsettling experience. – New York Film Festival

CITIZENFOUR
TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT

http://images.amcnetworks.com/ifccenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/two-days-one-night_592x299.jpg
Academy Award Nominee, Best Actress (Marion Cotillard) -- For the first time, the Dardenne Brothers have teamed with a major international star, Academy Award winner Marion Cotillard, and the result is another masterwork of humanism. Sandra (Cotillard) has just returned to work after recovering from an illness. Realizing that the company can operate with one less employee, management tells Sandra she is to be let go while the remaining employees will each receive a bonus. Over the course of a weekend, Sandra, often with the help of her loving husband (Fabio Rongione), races against time to convince each of her fellow co-workers to sacrifice their much-needed bonuses in order for her to keep her job. With each encounter, Sandra is brought into a different world with unexpected results while her fate hangs in the balance. The Dardennes have brought an extremely relevant social inquiry and turned it into a powerful statement on community solidarity.

TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT
THE DUKE OF BURGUNDY

http://images.amcnetworks.com/ifccenter.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/the-duke-of-burgundy_592x299.jpg
Day in and day out, lesbian lovers Cynthia (Sidse Babett Knudsen, TV’s Borgen) and Evelyn enact an elaborate sadomasochistic fantasy as mistress and maid. But as their ritual of domination and submission begins to turn stale, Cynthia yearns for something more conventional, while Evelyn tries to push their taboos even further. An homage to European erotic melodramas of the ’60s and ’70s, Strickland’s (Berberian Sound Studio) hyperstylized riff becomes a surprisingly tender portrait of the difficulties all long-term relationships face.
