Recipients of the Tribeca Film Festival's Best Narrative Short and Best Documentary Short Awards will qualify for consideration in the Short Films category of the Annual Academy Awards provided the film complies with the Academy rules.
We had a lot of fun programming the strange brew of comedy and creepiness in our late-night program, and we're always looking to try something new in bringing short films to our audience, said Sharon Badal, Director of Short Film Programming and Initiatives, This year our popular New York Shorts program is comprised entirely of world premiere documentary shorts, so it, too, has a different flavor than in years past.
A list of the short film selections within the nine programs is as follows:
AFTER WORDS documentary program
These short documentaries are at times political, occasionally provocative, and always personal, reflecting the past and illuminating the present. Once a year, Duke Phillips and his crew of Colorado ranchers rounds up 2,000 wild buffalo as part of a unique conservation effort to preserve this endangered animal and the rich landscape it inhabits in Duke and the Buffalo. In a small Scottish town in 1974, factory workers refuse to carry out repairs on warplane engines as an act of solidarity against the violent military coup in Chile in Nae Pasaran. When young filmmaker Alexandra embeds surveillance cameras in her kitchen to capture a decade long affliction of unconscious nighttime eating episodes, her image of self is turned inside-out in Nocturnity. In The Next Part, a double-amputee Army Bomb Tech and his wife grapple with his injuries amidst unexpected events. In a small American town in the state of Georgia, a good citizen is an armed citizen In Guns We Trust. Four decades after one of the world's most notorious crimes, a Manson Family member breaks her silence to reveal how a series of choices led to ultimate destruction in Life After Manson.

BEFORE LONG documentary program
Time waits for no one in these short documentaries. From serious to show biz ; they run the gamut of emotion. An elderly man struggling to cope with his wife s dementia becomes captivated by a young actress at Dracula s, the theater restaurant in Ghost Train. Greg O'Brien, long-time Cape Cod reporter and newspaperman, who is diagnosed with Early-onset Alzheimer's, decides to confront the disease and his imminent decline by writing candidly about the journey in A Place Called Pluto. When their football dreams are dashed, three athletes use their muscle and charm to become TV stars on American Gladiators, one of the oddest, most injury-riddled sports' shows ever concocted in True Gladiators. Traveling on the road with one of the most controversial musicians today, AMANDA F***ING PALMER ON THE ROCKS explores her fractious relationship with the music industry in the aftermath of her record-breaking crowd funding campaign and her intense online and physical interactions with her fans. Three pink tutus, three pink helmets and three pink skateboards meet Bella, Sierra, and Rella, as the young girls prove skateboarding is not just for boys in The Pink Helmet Posse. Meet seven Hollywood golden era veterans with a combined age of 662 from a Vaudeville comedian still working at age 100 to the stunning siren that dated Ronald Reagan when he was a Democrat these, ladies and gentlemen, are Showfolk.
