A SELECTION OF SOUND SHORTS FROM THE NATIONAL FILM REGISTRY
In addition to the better-known Hollywood features on the National Film Registry, a surprising number of short subjects are included among the 675 titles that have been selected as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant films” since the Registry’s inception in 1989. This program will be a sampling of shorts from the various categories, including animation (Warner Bros.’ Duck Amuck, 1953), educational (Disney’s The Story of Menstruation, 1946), and experimental (Su Friedrich’s autobiographical Sink or Swim, 1990). Approximately 120 minutes.
