Vancouver: The skinny on shorts
In Paul Armstrong’s utopia, short films would be projected on the screens of main theatres.
People would be jostling to see them and the majority of Vancouverites could name their three favourites. Reality is a bit different, but it’s something the short film producer has been working to change for more than 10 years.
“I don’t know if the general public thinks about short films so much,” he says.
In 1997, he co-founded the Celluloid Social Club — a Vancouver-based monthly screening series which has shown more than 600 short films. He also helps organize the Vancouver Film Race — a 24-hour challenge in which filmmakers create a original short film — and Hot Shot Shorts Film Contest — in which the winning script is put to film.
