"Short subject films have a long history in American cinemas. These could be anywhere from 2 to 40 minutes long and were used as a "filler" in a picture show that would include a cartoon, a newsreel, possibly a serial and a short before launching into the feature film. Shorts could tackle any topic of interest: an unusual travelogue, a comedy, musical revues, sports, nature or popular vaudeville acts. With the advent of sound-on-film in the mid-to-late 1920s, makers of earlier silent short subjects began experimenting with the short films, using them as a testing ground for the use of sound in feature movies. After the Second World War, and the rising popularity of television, short subject films became far too expensive to produce and they had mostly disappeared from the screens by the late 1950s. This encyclopedia offers comprehensive listings of American short subject films from the 1920s through the 1950s"--Provided by publisher

For three decades, state-sponsored short filmmaking educated Danish citizens, promoted Denmark to the world, and shaped the careers of renowned directors like Carl Th. Dreyer. A book-length study in English of a national corpus of state-sponsored informational film, this work traces how Danish shorts on topics including social welfare, industry, art and architecture were commissioned, funded, produced and reviewed from the inter-war period to the 1960s.

Le court métrage occupe une place à part dans le cinéma français, assurant non seulement le renouvellement des générations, mais favorisant aussi les expérimentations formelles les plus diverses. Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, on lui doit un intérêt tout particulier pour le documentaire, genre très peu usité à l’époque dans le cadre du long métrage. Certes, la logique est encore souvent celle de la commande à l’initiative de groupes industriels ou d’institutions ministérielles par exemple, mais cette attention nouvelle portée au réel incite à un profond renouvellement des tendances dramaturgiques et esthétiques. Minoritaire par le nombre de films réalisés, la fiction offre aux réalisateurs un second terrain d’expérimentation qui trouve à s’exprimer dans le court métrage ou le film à sketches, notamment par le biais de la comédie, de l’animation et de l’adaptation littéraire. Ce volume entend non seulement explorer la production des documentaires et des fictions produits dans le court métrage entre 1945 et 1968 mais aussi montrer que la vivacité de la forme brève, sa modernité même, passe justement par sa capacité à s’émanciper des frontières traditionnellement dressées entre documentaire et fiction, d’un film à l’autre, mais aussi au sein d’un même film. Les études rassemblées dans cet ouvrage s’intéressent à des cinéastes parmi les plus importants de l’histoire du court métrage français : Jean Cocteau, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Demy, Robert Enrico, Pierre Étaix, Jean-Luc Godard, Paul Grimault, Pierre Kast, Roger Leenhardt, Eli Lotar, Jean Painlevé, Paul Paviot, Jean-Daniel Pollet, Pierre et Jacques Prévert, Jean Rouch, Éric Rohmer, Georges Rouquier, Jacques Tati, etc.
