description Our aim is to identify the specificities of short film scripts, which are not limited to formal structures; this is why we suggest in this paper examining the imaginary constructs that determines both the possibility for the short film to exist and the interpretation it triggers. With a view to defining an imaginary universe connected to short film scripts, we focus on two films: J’attendrai le suivant directed by Philippe Orreindy (2002) and Next Floor by Denis Villeneuve (2008). This paper aims at taking stock not only of the formal features characterizing short film narrative, but also at grasping the pragmatic elements that influence our interpretations of it. In conclusion, we show that short films, thanks to plots assorted to an aesthetics of brevity, send spectators some types of phasing signals which foster a perceptual adhesion to the script being staged on screen.
