Conference Center

KMUW's Fletcher Powell will talk about short films.

While not as popular as they were during the silent era, short films have had a long and important place in cinema, and every year the Academy recognizes the best of the best. 

For this month’s Senior Wednesday, KMUW film critic Fletcher Powell will discuss short films from throughout cinema history and share some of his favorites from recent years — just in time for the 40th Academy Award Shorts program.
