Documentary Short Short List
Re: Documentary Short Short List
That's the way I imagine it also, FilmFan. In order to receive Oscar eligibility the film must have been shown at a festival, and that cut obviously has to be the one the Academy considers to be the authentic one. I imagine it's quite common that documentaries are cut to different lengths if TV broadcasters find it convenient.

Re: Documentary Short Short List
I think it is the other way around. IMDb, the SXSW website and Provincetown Film Festival all list the film as 38 minutes. My guess is that the film got padded when it aired on PBS in order to fit into an hour-long TV block.

Re: Documentary Short Short List
According to the Academy's rules, an eligible Short Film has to have a running time of 40 minutes max.
Presumably, however, they are allowed to make shorter cuts for the Academy, and longer cuts for other outlets.

The PBS video of Kehinde Wiley is 52 minutes long. I would have thought that would be just enough to push it into the feature category.FilmFan720 wrote:2 are available online right now: Crisis Hotline on HBOGo (for subscribers) and Kehinde Wiley on the PBS website.
