AFI Fest is the American Film Institute's film festival held in Los Angeles, United States since 1971.AFI Docs is also a festival – the winners of live-action and animated short categories have a chance for an Oscar nomination. This year's edition will take place on 10-14 November.

This year, the animated short Green by Łódź Film School's Karolina Kajetanowicz was invited to the short film competition. 

Roadside greenery is no man's land. Created to be driven past, not to be in. Geometrical and artificially delimited but overgrown by weeds – does it belong to man or to nature? The same goes for your Body. You drag it through life instead of being in it. Become it. I made this film to let your senses rest between real movies. To let your Body take a nap. Sweet dreams, second Body. I love you.

Andrea Arnold's documentary Cow is also among the nominated productions. Magdalena Kowalczyk was responsible for its cinematography.
