We try to see the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts every year and I actually thought it was a pretty good bunch this time around. THE GIRL WHO CRIED PEARLS was my favorite, just stunning stop motion out of Canada: youtu.be/SeUfcc2trjs?...

π Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Three short Oscar contenders among my #LastFourWatched. They were OK.
π΄ Also watched the 3.15-hour APOCALYPSE NOW Redux, which was great. I now want to watch the BTS documentary HEARTS OF DARKNESS, but it's no longer available on Amazon Prime in Canada. Bummer! βΉοΈ

π Fun challenge in this article: Can you name 50 Canadian movies from 2025?
π€ Without checking my Letterboxd tally, I could name 15 Canadian feature length films and docs of 2025 by heart, including one I still have to watch.
Onwards! π
I hope people outside of Canada can access this wonderful short film from The National Film Board about knitters in Whitehorse. It's so soothing and lovely.

My Knitting Circle, now streaming from the National Film Board of Canada, is a cozy documentary that will keep you warm amid the winter blahs. povmagazine.com/now-streamin...

Siksikakowan: The Blackfoot Man at Big Sky is a wonderful film about how boys learn to become men. It speaks volumes to all of humanity

Donald McWilliams didnβt start as an animator, yet became one of Canadian animationβs most vital custodians of memory. From Norman McLaren to the NFB archives, his work treats history as something alive, fragile, and worth fighting for.
