If you’ve ever wondered about those “little” movies honored each year at the Oscars—the animated and live-action shorts from around the world—here’s your chance to find out what all the ado is about. These seven mini-movies, averaging around 25 minutes each and all nominated for 2008 Academy Awards, take you on a kaleidoscopic journey of joy, heartbreak and humor with a bittersweet Christmas in a cancer ward, a wacky substitute teacher, a priest with machine he says can take people to heaven, a bizarre train ride and other beguiling tales from filmmakers in France, Denmark, Italy, Poland, Canada, Belgium and the United Kingdom.
