If you’re like me, there about a gazillion docs you want to see on the big screen that somehow slip by you. If you live in the Los Angeles area, now you’ve got a second chance. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Spring 2008 Contemporary Documentaries series kicks off on Wed. 3/19 with the environmental docs An Inconvenient Truth and Who Killed the Electric Car?. The films will play at the Linwood Dunn Theater in Hollywood and admission is free.

A total of 16 feature-length and short documentaries will screen on Wednesday evenings through June 11, showcasing several of the 2006 Academy Award®-nominated films as well as other documentaries considered by the Academy that year. For the full program: www.oscars.org or 310.247.3600.
