		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Carmichael and Shane (2005)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A bit of a trifle, but it's a trifle that's played at a bunch of prestigious film festivals: Carmichael and Shane is a low-budget mockumentary about a single father's gambit to put all of his effort and financial resources behind one of his twins, leaving the other to fend for himself. It's silly, and there [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Harmonia (1947)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wojciech Has' Harmonia is a snapshot of childhood in Poland in the post-war era: a young boy desperately wants to buy an accordion, seeing it as the ticket away from his dreary life, but struggles with poverty and a frankly awful father. It's a really affecting film, and given its production context very admirable, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Glory at Sea (2008)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[1) I really don’t like Glory at Sea. Glory at Sea is the stuff of legend. It’s a film by the Court 13 film collective, headed by directors Benh Zeitlin and Ray Tintori, and it’s a sort of epic rumination on the lingering affects of Katrina as filtered through a post-apocalyptic steampunk narrative of an [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Six Shooter (2004)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[(You'll have to click through the link on one of the other videos to watch part three - there's a spoiler in the screencap YouTube has assigned to the video.) I really admire Martin McDonagh’s Six Shooter. It’s a strange film, a grimly dark comedy that manages to approach life-affirming through the sheer madness of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Monster (2005)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jennifer Kent’s Monster is a promising short film – which is why (I think) we played it at the festival a couple years ago. It’s a very simple story: a mother protects her son from the horrifying creature for whom his creepy doll is a talisman. But it’s very effective in startling up some PG-13 [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Case You&#8217;re Wondering&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I didn't fall off the face of the earth. I've had jury duty this past week, and my laptop has been on the fritz. The trial and deliberations ended today and I should be getting my computer back from Apple sometime in the next 2-3 days, and at that point I'll do the massive [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Riding with Sugar (2005)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I should just leave well enough alone. Here I was, feeling all good about Global Film Initiative and their Global Lens serie, and I felt like watching another of their shorts. So I chose one at random, available on their YouTube account, and… Oof. This On The Lot-ready film is a whole bunch of Whatever: [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Your Dark Hair Ihsan (2005)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Global Film Initiative is a very good idea that often leads to very bad results. Its mission is to distribute, as package series, films from developing countries to western audiences, and while some of the films are good, a lot of what they bring to America is very, very bad. While at Dartmouth we [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; &#8230;No Lies (1974)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I'm going to take two steps in advance of talking about ...No Lies, which I think is an important film. One is that every single thing that follows is a spoiler. Including my second warning: that this film is potentially triggering. ...No Lies was directed by Mitchell Block while he was a student at NYU [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Shorts Project &#8211; Let&#8217;s Get Started (2008)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This film by Azazel Jacobs (The GoodTimesKid, Momma's Man) is like the best student film exercise you could ever hope for - it's got this simple, childlike charm and a playfulness about the physics of the world and inner lives of objects. It's shot on beautiful 16mm non-sync stock and has the feel of like [...]]]></description>
