COURTESY OF THE SILENT CHILD LIbby, a hearing-impaired girl, portrayed by Maisie Sly, left, is coached by her tutor Joanne, played by Rachel Shenton, in Chris Overton’s Academy Award-nominated short film “The Silent Child.” The Park City Film Series will screen “The Silent Child” with other Oscar-nominated shorts this weekend at the Jim Santy Auditorium. Themes will differ from night to night over the weekend SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Academy Award weekend is a big deal for the Park City Film Series. This is when the arthouse film nonprofit presents Oscar-nominated shorts screenings, said Executive Director Katharine Wang. “Most of the Academy Award-nominated shorts aren’t shown in theaters,” Wang said. “Programming shorts screenings on a regular basis has sort of become a thing of the past, because when they are screened at film festivals, you will most likely see a collection of shorts or they will be The L.A.

So to have that collection together and see these films that are really the best of the year is a unique way to experience these treasures.” Each night will feature dif- “It takes skill to tell a story, complete with a story arc and character development, in anywhere between four to 32 minutes...” Katharine Wang, Park City Film Series executive director ferent collections. Friday kicks off the weekend with animated shorts -- Glen Keane’s “Dear Basketball” (U.S.A.), Florian Babikian, Vincent Bayoux, Victor Caire, Theophile Dufresne, Gabriel Grapperson and Lucas Navarro’s “Garden Party” (France), Dave Mullins’ “Lou”(U.S.A.), Ru Kuwahata and Max Porter’s “Negative Space” (France) and Jan Lachauer, Jakob Schuh and Bin-Han To’s “Revolting Rhymes” (U.K.). “We brought in ‘Revolting Rhymes’ back in September as part of our Art House Theater Day,” Wang said. “It’s a series of stories based on Roald Dahl’s book that is sort of revisionist look at classic fairy tales like ‘Little Red Riding Hood.’” While “Garden Party” is about a backyard habitat gone wild with a twist, “Dear Bas- 123 124 125 126 Sludge Wonder Woman’s __ of Truth Chinese: Pref.

The films will be Kate Davis’ “Traffic Stop” (U.S.A.), Frank Stiefel’s “Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405” (U.S.A.) and Elaine McMillon Sheldon’s “Heroin(e)” (U.S.A.). “Traffic Stop” is about Breaion King, a 26-year old African American kindergarten teacher in Austin, Texas. Officer Bryan Richter stopped her for a routine traffic violation and the stop escalated. “The stop, which was recorded on the police car’s dashcam, ended with her getting arrested after the officer dragged from her car and threw her to the ground,” Wang said. “I think it’s a timely piece, especially with the topic of race relations in our country.” “Heaven Is a Traffic Jam on the 405” is about Mindy Alper, a visual artist who is based in Los Angeles. “She is a brilliant artist who is represented by top-tier galleries, but also suffers from acute anxiety and depression,” Wang said. “The film is about her journey from the challenging childhood that her parents didn’t quite understand. They did, however exposed her to art that allowed her to express herself especially during the low periods of her life when she underwent electroshock therapy and stints in mental institutions.
