Boogie Woogie Pappa (2002)

I have just finished watching "Boogie Woogie Pappa" in which Erik Bafving uses old 35mm photographic images shot by his father. Bafving infuses the images together to visualise the early part of his life and his relationship with his father. Narrated with english subtitles, the images and narration combine to tell the story of being a young child hearing his father play Boogie Woogie music on the family piano. As the film progresses however, the relationship deteriorates as Bafving's father, a workaholic struggles with alcoholism and and eventually commits suicide.

Only 13 minutes long the film is a great example of a short similar in length to that of my minor project plus it uses stills to portray a story in a different but extremely effective method.
