Austin Chronicle

What these shorts do very well is speak to the times, with stories of resistance, refugees, and anxiety over our ever-advancing technology.

Rated: 3/5

San Francisco Chronicle

It's the pre-Oscar season, when short films get a least a little bit of the respect they deserve.

Rated: 3/4

Kansas City Star

The overall quality of these short efforts is spectacular, particularly with the live-action and documentary slates.

Reeling Reviews

It's clear what kind of message the Academy is sending when one looks at their nominees for short documentary, three of which are about immigrants and refugees, another about rescue efforts in Syria.

Rated: B+

Michael D

Typically high quality stuff, this group does not disappoint, offering the viewer insight into some overseas venues and character studies. Political at their core, the features focus on immigrant and refugee issues, and are intended to make a statement. Worthy of a long look.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
