Sorry, I am sooo behind what's going on at our boards that I didn't see it before you mentioned it here. I'm glad you wrote something, though I have to put off reading it for the moment.

I know how it is to watch too many short films, and I have decided some time ago to not watch more than five or six in a row if I can avoid it. Just because they are short it doesn't mean they don't have as much to say as feature films, and after watching a dozen shorts in a row my sytem has usually already collapsed. For me every film is a film worth contemplating and devoting your time to, and it doesn't matter if the running time is one minute or ten hours. Lumiere and Brakhage have made as important stuff as any director out there.
