ShortsTV is presenting The Game Changers: Oscar Winning Shorts That Shaped Hollywood, a virtual theatrical event spotlighting four Oscar-winning short films selected for their roles in “changing storytelling expectations in Hollywood.”
The pics selected are Bear Story (Best Animation 2016), God of Love (Best Live Action 2011), Curfew (Best Live Action 2013) and Six Shooter (Best Live Action 2006). The screenings will be preceded by introductions from ShortsTV founder and CEO Carter Pilcher, who will talk about the films’ impact.
“These four short films breathed new life into storytelling,” Pilcher said. “Bear Story was the first ever Chilean film to win an Academy Award, God of Love reignited a love for black-and-white films, Curfew combined a wide variety of storytelling techniques to tackle difficult topics in an ultimately heartwarming tale, and Six Shooter introduced film audiences to Martin McDonagh’s brand of macabre humor. Each one represents the power of a single short film.

Before jumping into my 1.5-star rant, you must understand that parts of Intruder genuinely skeeved me out. Our homes are supposed to evoke feelings of safety and comfort, yet filmmaker Travis Zariwny suggests that those connections are nothing but false hope. Locks can be picked while we shower, rooms can be entered when we leave, and faces can be touched while we innocently slumber. Messed up, right?
Zariwny finds much more intrigue here than his shot-for-shot remake of Eli Roth’s Cabin Fever – but that’s all before his film’s unforgivable ending. We’re not just talking “bad.” We’re talking “a monumental let-down in every conceivable fashion.” With one soul-sucking decision, Zariwny jumps the shark in the most underwhelming fashion possible – no goods, no payoff, and certainly no grace.
Louise Linton stars as Elizabeth, a concert cellist who’s just been accepted into the London Philharmonic. This should be a joyous occasion,...
