My twentieth poll ended with four votes, including one vote from me for LIFE IS SHORT 2, OBABA, 1/3 OF THE EYES, SIDA: SRI RAM?, TAKE THE 5:10 TO DREAMLAND, VIDEO 50, and WELCOME TO NOTHING.

--I just found out that UBU has one of my most favorite short films last year. It’s FIREMAN E. A. WINTERSTEIN (1968, Alexander Kluge, West Germany, A++++++++++). You can watch the film here:

The film is full of disconnected parts, and has no English subtitles. But I think you will surely be puzzled and never understand the film with or without the subtitles.
