Any film shorter than about 40 minutes is considered a short. I’m trying to be inclusive, but this list may not ever be definitive, as I only started keeping records of short films I’ve watched recently, and have certainly seen many that I’ve forgotten about. But I very much believe that short films are a very definite art form (like short stories) and deserve as much attention as features, and this is my small step toward reflecting that at least on my own site.<\/p>\n
