Short films are, first and foremost, calling cards for up-and-coming directors. To set out to watch a short expecting the same level of plot and character development as a feature is to miss the point. A short that shows the confluence of a solid plot, good casting, photography, editing and score, has a lot to say for itself and for the potential of it's maker who is very often working to a low budget and, sometimes, to a time constraint.
This DVD contains 16 outstanding examples of directors who understand what is required by the format of a short film. I bought it for Chomet's "The Old Woman and the Pigeons" which was excellent prep work for "Les Triplets de Belleville" and alone would have been worth the price I paid but I was pleasantly surprised by the contents. This is highly recommended viewing for anyone who wants to know more about this genre of film.

Okay, this is a collection of 16 short films, usually around 10-15 minutes each. There are bound to be some you like and some you don't. I'll say that the one's I particularly enjoyed were "Klaus The Forklift Driver"; in the opening scenes I didn't know what to make of this but it turned out to be one of the funniest (and I mean laughing so much there were tears running down my face) short films I have ever seen. "Madame Tutli Putli" was awesome. And "The Old Lady and the Pigeons" was sinister and darkly funny. There were others I didn't really get, I'm not saying they weren't any good but I didn't get much out of them. Each to their own I guess. However, on the back of this I will purchase the other Cinema 16s collections.

This is a great selection of short films, some truly astounding pieces of cinema. There's a range of documentary, animation, art cinema and some are surprisingly amusing too. Read more
