POINTS Of VIEW OR OPINIONS STATED DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT OFFICIAL OffICE Of EDUCATION POSITION OR POLICY. THE SHORT FILM has many virtues. It fits nicely within the normal class period (45-60 minutes), it makes its point quickly and painlessly, and it is inexpensive. Unfortunately. few teachers realize the wealth of outstanding films that are available from film rental houses. To improve this situation, Media and Metlwds has prepared a list of 50 high quality short motion pictures; these films are not narrowly related to specific disciplines, but tend to have a general interest that bypasses such class- ification.. The five experts who prepared this list for M&M are: A.W. Hodgkinson, Boston University David Powell, North Reading H.S.. Mass. Rod Sheratsky, N. Valley Regional H.S.. NJ. Bill Sloan, New York Public Library David Sohn, Fordham University In addition, three of the annotated shorts stand out by dint of their relevance, immediacy and artistry. Like last month's Summa awardee (No- body Waved Goodbye). No Reason to Stay fo- cuses on the difficulty of growing up in an irrel, evant society. Resnais' Night and Fog, on the other hand, suggests one reason why society may be irrelevant to adolescents: mankind's chronic attachment to war. Dream of Wild Horses is no- table for its sheer artistry. It is a natural for uie in poetry. creative writing, and explaining the lan- guage of r...otion. These three films fully merit M&M's Summa. The twenty most-mentioned films (together with the Summa awardees) comprise the first list. Annotations are by David Sohn and Rod Sheratsky. The second list is comprised of unan- notated films. 410 20 FILMS A Valparaiso (CP, color & b/w, 30min) INFOCARD 89 About the seaport town of Valparaiso, thisshort isa visual "knockout" that combines the poetic and fact- ual, color with black and white.

  • Meiermovies Short Films by Star Rating
    MeierMovies Short Films by Star Rating Theatrically released motion pictures of 40 minutes or less For every great feature, there’s a great short, and this list attempts to chronicle just some of those tiny masterpieces – and their not-so-masterful counterparts. For films to make this list, they must have played in at least one film festival or showcase, or theatrical venue, for a paying audience. Films shown only on television (or available only on DVD, Blu-ray, video or online) are reserved for my Television list. Also not included here are student films and similar projects that have never been presented at a theatrical venue that charged admission to viewers. (Please note that this is slightly more lenient than the qualifications for the feature- film lists, which require that a film of more than 40 minutes play at least two major festivals, or have a limited or general release.) Theatrical newsreels (pre-television) and theatrically released trailers are not eligible for this list, although mini-documentaries and travelogues (typically playing alongside trailers and B-features in the 1930-1950s) are. Short films shown at theme parks and museums are eligible, but not if they rely on animatronic/interactive/live elements. Shorts produced for timed competitions, such as 48-hour or 24-hour projects, are not included here, unless those films were subsequently screened at a second venue. The ratings system is the same as that of the feature-film list, just with no half or quarter stars. That difference is due to simplification and also to the fact that it’s admittedly difficult, and perhaps somewhat unfair, to compare a 2-minute film to a 40- minute one using quarter stars.

  • Hou Hsiao-Hsien's Le Voyage Du Ballon Rouge
    Adapting Impressionism: Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Le Voyage du ballon rouge Carolyn A. Durham Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Le Voyage du ballon rouge (2007), set in Paris and directly inspired by Albert Lamorisse’s beloved French children’s film Le Ballon rouge (1956), is remarkable for the fact that the adaptation is the work of a Taiwanese director who had never before filmed outside Asia and who speaks no French. Hou had retained from childhood ‘un souvenir émérveillé’ of Lamorisse’s film which remained indissociable from his mental image of Paris (Lalanne 14). Moreover, his memory had recently been refreshed by his reading of Adam Gopnick’s Paris to the Moon (2000) (Lalanne 14), in which the American journalist not only relates a very similar experience connecting Lamorisse’s work to the city but also reminds the reader of the possibility of intermedial alteration: ‘My first images of Paris had come from the book adaptation of The Red Balloon, the wonderful Albert Lamorisse movie. […] This was my first impression of Paris, and of them all, it was not the farthest from the truth’ (5–6).1 As a result, when Hou accepted a commission from the Musée d’Orsay to make a film in celebration of the museum’s twenty-year anniversary, with the single stipulation that the museum make an appearance in the film, he immediately asked whether the museum had ‘any Impressionist paintings with red objects, preferably balloons’ (quoted in Lim).2 Although Félix Vallot- ton’s ‘Le Ballon’ (1899), held by the Musée d’Orsay, represents the museum within Le Voyage du ballon rouge, both Vallotton’s post-Impressionist work and the film itself are strongly evocative of an earlier Claude Monet painting, ‘Impression, soleil levant’ (1872), held by the Musée Marmottan.
