the best of the vancouver film school shorts

the vancouver film school has produced an extraordinary number of really clever and imaginative short films. there are way too many to show here but a morning's perusal of what is avaliable have revealed these to be my favourites so far . . .

first up is zack matthew's "the switch" . . . . a play on the old adage 'curiousity killed the cat' - and then some . . . . if you'd like to see and hear a short interview with zack then . . . give this a peek

lloyd colaco's granny's groove gives a very brief look at what might happen if you found the right pair of shoes . . .

dewi sari's "not forgotten" is a humorous look at life on both sides of the pearly gates . . .

vishal parasher has assembled a clever film entitled "the balloon" that remarkably pulls together charlie chaplin and marcel marceau!

my favourite of my favourites is jospehine gutianjo's "fish wish" . . .

Lots of curious cats there! I especially like the alto clarinet. Granny's groove is hysterical!! And the little angel who had to keep running after his fig leaf? Precious.
