5 minutes, a whole story, same impact.
September 25, 2008Introduction:
“Ilha das Flores”; “Medea”; people have never heard of these movies. However, they all know movies like “Titanic” and “An Inconvenient True”. Even though the four of these films are pretty well made and the stories are very original media emphasize only the long-feature films once it’s the ones that bring money to cinema industry as it’s available to people to see it in the movies theaters. It’s a shame that media forget to pay attention to short-feature films. In other words, short-feature films are getting more popular because of its dissemination by reality shows, the creation of Anima Mondi’s festival and the possibility of winning an Oscar.
1st paragraph:
First, short-feature films producers found a way to improve its advertising by the creation of a reality show. In this reality show 30 aspirant candidates to movie directors competes for a contract with DreamWorks Company to start their career in cinema industry. The contestants spend a month writing, shooting, editing and directing a short-feature film per week and 3 judges analyze and eliminate the worse of the week. For instance, in the first 2 weeks the rating was pretty low. Yet, people gave the show a chance and started to watch it as they found it brilliant. Due to the approval from public the show’s format ended up being a success. Further, companies as Back of America got interested in the show as well becoming one of the sponsors of the program with high donations.

Third, the biggest achievement that short-feature films have conquered along these years is the participation in the most luxury award inside entertainment industry: the Oscar award. Among wide-ranging categories including best actors, directors, makeup, music, producers and so forth, it occurred that in the second year of Oscar’s foundation, in1931, Academy’s members decided to launch Short Film category, for action and animated productions. Since that time short-feature film has started a personal war in order to spread itself between popularity, when all spotlights were pointed up to long-feature ones. Fortunately, helped by the technology developed by main studios, the 20th century brought to short-feature films a hopeful scenario, and the effective participation in the Academy Awards’ ceremony. Ever since 2000 this category has been fought over thousand of specialized professionals, who dream winning an Oscar for their short-feature film. For example, one of these people is Carlos Saldanha, a Brazilian film maker who gained, in 2004, an award for “Nibbles”, his not first short-feature film, but the only Brazilian representative in this category. Thus, Oscar has turned short-feature films into a new way of art, recognized by Academy and people in general.

Animation, live action or documentary, all kinds of short-feature films has finally achieved its popularity and it’s now well accepted by those curious who is now having the first contact with it by the television, watching a simply reality show; or those who are really interested and go to festivals, like Anima Mondi, with the aim of taking more contact with professionals in this area; or more, short-feature films is now available in Oscar’s ceremony, in a thankful act by its importance during all cinema history.
