Exquisite shorts, volume 1
Exquisite Shorts—adapted from the drawing game “exquisite corpse”—is the directproduct of missing making films with friends and peers. Each of the 19 filmmakersor duos was given two words to be spoken, shown, or both—one for the beginningof their own film and one for the end. Nobody knew what the other words orsegments were. Each segment’s second word is the following segment’s first word,and so on and so forth, making the films connect fluidly in a stream of consciousness—creating this anthology of diverse visual flavors.
