Favourite Shorts of 2018:

1. Me the Terrible (2012, Josephine Decker)
Decker also made my top-5 new movies and top-10 recent movies lists, so is probably the discovery of the year.

2. Bao (2018, Domee Shi)

3. The Burden (2017, Niki Lindroth Von Bahr) (oops, forgot to write this up)

4. The Stranger and Six Cents in the Pocket (Ricky D’Ambrose)

5. Winnie-the-Pooh and Winnie-the-Pooh Pays a Visit (Fyodor Khitruk)

6. Heat of a Thousand Suns (1965, Pierre Kast)

8. Muta (2011, Lucrecia Martel)

9. Love’s Refrain (2016, Paul Clipson)
