The 2026 Oscar® Nominated Short Films: Documentary

All five of this year’s Academy Award®-nominated shorts in the documentary category will be presented in this special program. While feature-length documentaries continue to enjoy a high profile in theaters and online, short documentaries can be just as powerful and surprising as their longer counterparts. 

The short format allows for a wide range of subjects and moods and can provide a uniquely personal take on non-fiction topics. Seeing all the nominees together on the big screen offers a bracing, eye-opening cinematic experience that feels fresh and different each year. 

Advance ticket purchase is recommended. Remaining seats are available at the door one hour before each performance. The program typically runs around three hours, including one intermission.
