'SHORT FORM' BOOK (ENGLISH)

Short Form is a publication offering a fresh perspective on film creation. Focusing on some of the most memorable short-form works in music videos and advertising, the book analyses the relevance and evolution of these genres through forty years of history at Academy Films, one of the UK’s most iconic and influential production companies. Through behind-the-scenes images, storyboards, stills, production notes, and more, it explores cult pieces that have shaped the cultural and cinematic landscape, such as Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai, Doo Wop (That Thing) by Lauryn Hill, Karma Police by Radiohead, Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve, and M3LL155X by FKA Twigs, alongside commercials for Guinness, Channel 4, and Levi’s. With a foreword by filmmaker Jonathan Glazer, the book collects essays from prominent figures in audiovisual culture exploring the history of these projects and their influence on the modern digital short film landscape.
