1/2 - Today's Oscar-qualified short is Pola Maneli’s ‘Apart,’ about a forbidden friendship between two boys in apartheid-era South Africa. A SIGGRAPH Best in Show winner, it was written by Spike Lee, Tim Jones, Jeff Leisawitz, and Lubabalo Mtati.

‘Wildwood’ has passed $20 million domestically and added 150 screens.

Its projected $7–8 million second weekend would be a respectable, though unspectacular, hold, keeping it roughly in line with ‘Kubo’ and ‘ParaNorman.’

1/2 - Today's Oscar-qualified short is ‘What We Leave Behind,’ Alexandra Myotte and Jean-Sébastien Hamel’s film about a man confronting childhood sexual abuse. The ‘A Crab in the Pool’ directors turn a hockey rink into a physical expression of trauma.

Just so many beautiful animated films this year. Loved Ray Gunn and Tangles at Middleburg, just watched Iron Boy, and now I’m off to see Wildwood. What a year for animation!

1/2 - Today's Oscar-qualified short is 'The End,' Niki Lindroth von Bahr’s stop-motion satire set in an international airport, inspired by Dante’s limbo. Its animal inhabitants navigate delays, expensive smoothies, and the looming presence of death.
