First Looks: Oscar Qualifying Program
First Looks, the Roxie’s Oscar-Qualifying Theatrical Release program, supports filmmakers in their Academy Award quest. We put together a unique lineup of shorts (with running times of 40 minutes and under) from any genre (documentary, narrative, and animation) to serve as the film’s Academy qualifying run.
All films will screen once daily for seven consecutive days and have tickets for sale on our website. If you have questions about this program or other filmmaker services, please get in touch with rentals@roxie.com
