Short Cuts

A significant number of Canadian films are represented in a series of short programmes, each one offering about 90 minutes of film.

It's a good opportunity to check out student work as well as work by established filmmakers.

I caught one programme on Thursday afternoon. Of the seven films I saw, three were very good, one wasn't and the rest were enjoyable.

The three that I liked the most were "106", a comedy about revenge and the second-oldest woman in Ontario, "Notes on a Boreal", a pen-and-ink animation on the boreal forest and "Machine from Wishbone", a quite lovely series of mechanical animations.
