A fine collection of the 2006 Academy Award Nominated Live Action and Animated Short Films.
Animated Shorts:
The Danish Poet
This charming Oscar winner tells the story of how a Danish poet met a Norwegian farm girl, fell in love, and eventually married. It couldn't be better summed up than is presented in the narration: "But had it not been for the Danish poet and Sigrid Undset, a rainy summer in Norway, a slippery barn plank, a careless mailman, a hungry goat, a broken thumb, and a crowded train, my parents might never have met and who knows I might still be a little seed floating around in the sky waiting for someone to come and get me." Written and directed by Torill Kove, narrated by Liv Ullman. Made in Norway: run time 15 minutes.
Maestro
With a concerto playing in the background, the Maestro and his mechanical assistant prepare for the Maestro's big event. A clever short with a surprising and fun ending. Written and directed by Géza M. Tóth. Made in Hungary; run time 5 minutes.
