Short films / Anamorph

I've always been a sprinter, never a marathoner, at least in my work. It's amazing to me that people can direct a 100-minute movie or memorize a 60 page script. It seems like sheer drudgery. Noise, at 15 minutes, is a good length. I've been thinking that short film has the potential to be genetically different from features. From my post-production-as-performance scheme, there are various ways to carry a film without characters for 5-10 minutes. Here is my students' favorite film, Anamorph. It works because it's short. Attempts to create work like this in longer formats results in pieces like Belief's 004: Embryo, which I found really offensive.
