This will be a full night of over three-and-a-half hours of movie enjoyment, made possible by Reno Public Radio in partnership with the Joe Crowley Student Union Theatre.

Seating is limited and advance purchase is highly recommended. KUNR offers this as a community cultural film festival, not a benefit event.

Just as we did with the Manhattan Short Film Festival, Reno Public Radio has continued the screenings of the Oscar Shorts previously offered by the Reno Film Festival before it closed its doors in summer 2012.
We're so glad to offer this collection of short films to the community and keep this tradition alive. Hope to see you there!

The Joe Crowley Student Union is at the heart of the University of Nevada, Reno community. Aspiring to be the living room of the University, visitors are free to relax near one of the building's five fireplaces or attend some of the many lectures, student discussions or other events happening daily. Visitors can also grab a meal at the 15th St. Food Court, purchase Nevada gear at Nevada Wolf Shop (the official bookstore), or renew their vehicle registration at the DMV kiosk. The Joe Crowley Student Union houses a 220-seat theater, a 10,000-square-foot ballroom, a cozy Great Room and numerous other indoor and outdoor performance spaces. The University and Reno community can also take advantage of multiple meeting spaces in the building.

The Joe Crowley Student Union is an environmentally sustainable building with many ‘green' aspects. The facility is designed to maximize daylight usage, use recycled materials, and minimize energy and water usage.
