Hey guys, I just watched a fantastic short film called Elevated by Vincenzo Natali (the director of another excellent film called Cube). And I remembered how effective short films can be.

You'll find 'Elevated' on youtube in full. It's the 20 minute version. I recommend you watch it if you haven't seen it, or if you don't like short films.

Do you like short films?

If so, what are your favourites?

A Propos de Nice is probably my favourite so far (I think it's available on YouTube as well) but I'll have to admit I don't watch a lot of short films at all. I would like to, though, so I'll check out the above! (Speaking of Vigo shorts, I liked Taris as well!)

Another one I watched quite recently and liked was Dog Altogether. I believe there are a couple of Kiewslowoski shorts on my Three Colours Trilogy package, so I'll probably be going trawling though that pretty soon.

Love watching short films (and making them too ). Think I've seen Elevated actually, but gotta watch it again. I also just got the Three Colours Trilogy (only seen one of them before) and am planning to watch the shorts sometime soon

Here's one of my favourites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwXG-G-3e3U

Did you get it in Criterion? I love the amount of extras they have. I think I might be watching the shorts on it (there are four!) today if possible.

think mine's artificial eye, but ive just realized ive left it in the wrong country (the regular problem of living in 2 countries at the same time) so can't actually watch it yet. oh well, found the uk film council's dvd release on some uk shorts i got for free sometime ago, so at least i got some shorts to watch

My favourite short film is Consoul by Lasse Gjertsen.

You might actually really like it retrogamer, the majority of it is told in 8-bit video game graphics.

The last short film I watched was entitled Soft, and directed by Simon Ellis:

Great film.

It wasn't intended as a short film, but Renoir's Partie de campagne is probably the most perfect forty minutes in the history of cinema.
