A friend in Mexico is looking for any books or good articles on short
films. He is interested in books on their production and also on
theoretical or critical aspects. Anybody out there have a list or even a
single suggestion?

Well, the query didn't say what kind of short films they were researching
but one source is Leonard Maltin's "Selected Short Subjects: From Spanky to
the Three Stooges" (1983). Silent comedy shorts are discussed in performer
bios and Gerald Masts's "The Comic Mind." Books on music in film--such as
Krin Gabbard's on jazz--often cover soundies and musical shorts.
Avant-garde and experimental films are probably even better covered by
books like "New American Cinema," "Dada and Surrealist Film" or the Scott
MacDonald and Stan Brakhage books.

I missed the original posting, not sure what kind of shorts you're
looking for. My book THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO LESBIAN & GAY FILM AND VIDEO
(just remaindered at a bargain price of $7.95!) includes listings for
thousands of gay and lesbian shorts with extensive non-theatrical and
educational source info -- all this info is also available on my website
(popcornq.com).

Good luck,
