It's Oscar season, and the Tivoli showed both the live-action and animated short films in a single night. S indulged me, and we went to see both.
DeKalb Elementary: an elementary school office assistant comes face to face with a troubled man who is threatening to shoot up the school. A timely and sensitive portrayal of both people.
My Nephew Emmett: a look at the last days in the life of Emmett Till, a Chicago kid who got himself in trouble when he moved down south.
The Silent Child: a deaf child whose family is too busy and troubled to make time for her connects with her sign language teacher. My favorite.
The Eleven O'Clock: a comedic interaction between a psychiatrist whose patient believes he's a psychiatrist.
Watu Wote (All of Us): overtly a story about religious discrimination in Kenya between Christians and Muslims. The real story is about the goodness that can emerge even in the face of such hatred.
