Your writing about film is amazing, and short films are so neglected.

And they're a form about which I know much less: if features are at least novellas, then shorts can range anywhere from short stories to flash fiction to poetry. My comparatively more limited acquaintance of them suggests they have different rules.

(Didn't Jarman do some short ones?)

He did! Both music videos and Super 8 shorts. I've mentioned a couple of them in passing, but never formally reviewed any. Hmm.
