A story about "Cinema 16 - British Short Films" — 10 weeks ago
Although the 16 films vary in quality and value they are all nice to compare and contrast. The collection includes:
- About a Girl – Brian Percival
- Boy & Bicycle – Ridley Scott
- Dear Phone – Peter Greenaway
- Doodlebug – Christopher Nolan
- Eight – Stephen Daldry
- Gasman – Lynne Ramsay
- Girl Chewing Gum – John Smith
- Home – Morag McKinnon
- Joyride – Jim Gillespie
- Inside Out – Tom & Charles Guard
- Je T’aime John Wayne – Toby Macdonald
- The Sheep Thief – Asif Kapadia
- The Short & Curlies – Mike Leigh
- Telling Lies – Simon Ellis
- UK Images – Martin Parr
- Who’s My Favourite Girl? – Adrian J. McDowall
All have director commentaries although some films are so short the commentary can’t cover much ground which is a shame.
My favourites were Gasman, Je T’aime John Wayne, Girl Chewing Gum and Joyride which is genuinely scary. I realise that I’ve listed a quarter of the films but they are so different to each other it would have been difficult to narrow down further.
