The article reveals Paul Harrisâ outlook on short films. He describes the festival as a place to see the work of an âemerging generation of filmmakers.â Harris goes on to say that the issues brought forward in these shorts are not something reflected in feature films. Another interesting point he describes is the ability to make mistakes in short films. A poor feature film would be criticized and deemed a failure. As a highly regarded film buff and director of the festival, Harrisâ feedback is respected. His audience in this role is the filmmakers of short films, thus the critiquing here is very different from dissecting a feature film. The response from these short films allows the makers to progress and make better films whereas a review directed towards a different audience, i.e. the general public, would allow them to make a decision on whether or not the film is worth seeing. The issue of poor box office sales of recent Australian movies is also mentioned. All of this information ties into how crucial film critics are to the industry. |
