“They are all officially acquired,” smiles Cyrus Dastur of Shamiana, the short-film club that is organising the shows. So which films will be screened, we ask. “From last year’s nominations we are screening Time Freak and Pentecost and from this year’s shortlisted films, we will screen Death of a Shadow. There will be two other Oscar nominated short films too so in two hours, guests can watch five films and also take part in an interactive movie trivia session. We also have a surprise film for the audience,” says Dastur.
