A hit at last year's Brooklyn International Film Festival, and an Academy Award short film nominee, I Met The Walrus takes a 1969 audio interview with John Lennon and elegantly animates it into a truly charming (and literal) short film. According to the film blurb, 14-year-old Jerry Levitan nabbed this interview by sneaking into Lennon's Toronto hotel room during his "bed-in" phase.
wow, pretty neat.

I believe this was nominated last year, for the Oscars that have already passed.

Yeah, I used "now and Academy Award nominee" to mean post-BIFF, but I get why you thought that. And so I stealthily removed that word. Ha ha!

Brilliantly makes up for the fact Jerry Levitan didn't have a video camera. Got me thinking what the 60s would have been like if the digital technology we have now and the internet had been around then.
