Oscar nominated short films will be available for screening this week at the Grand Theater in Knoxville.

The theater will show the three short-film categories awarded at the Oscars, with Live Action Shorts screened on Wednesday at 7 p.m. and Saturday at 11:30 a.m., Animated Shorts on Thursday at 5 p.m. and Saturday at 10 a.m., and the Documentary Shorts on Sunday at 10 a.m. Sean Skeehan, Executive Director of the Grand Theater Foundation, says that with the Academy Awards being presented shortly after these screenings, it’s a great opportunity to see the nominated films.
