SHORT: Short films with little dialogue?

[HeyAndy]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could recommend me to short films with little dialogue involved. I'm kind of trying to see how stories can be told effectively without having a lot of talking or narration.

Thanks.

I'd check out Christopher Nolans short film, great to see how he started.

This one is strong filmmaking. Written and Directed by Zak Forsman:

Here is a film I made a few months ago

Short film I'm working on that has no dialogue in the script.

Amblin - worst thing Spielberg ever did.

Here's my short film 'Ossian', it has no dialogue but is not a 'silent movie' http://www.vimeo.com/13664900

Most important thing to remember when you don't have dialogue: don't think that you don't need a soundguy.... Besides dialogues there are A LOT of other sounds. And sometimes people say there's no dialogue in it but then they say "well.... he just says .....". Whenever there's "he/she just says...." it's a dialogue.

Breatings also can be very important and be seen as dialogue in my eyes.

And then of course you have the sound of handlings, movement.....

I used very little dialog in these shorts. Though RPDM has V/O, you can watch it silently too. EVIE has dialog at the top, but most of the film is silent save music and sound design.
