Thanks A, as far as length is concerned 40 mins is the AMPAS rule and I'd quite happily stick with that. I will go through as much of the site as possible to pick out the shorts, I was a little annoyed to finf one of the best sources has vanished, Filmfour used to have around 250 short films on site but since the channel has gone free to air, the shorts have vanished.

I'll write up on the first two Cinema 16 dvd's, hopefully arsaib4 can fill us in on the third volume.

Deciding on index categories has proved harder than I thought but we'll get there in the end.

Cheers Trev.
