Short Films

Watch short films online from filmmakers who use brevity as a creative choice rather than a limitation. This collection gathers independent short films, auteur shorts and experimental works, from a few minutes to around forty: sharp narrative miniatures, animated and hand-made pieces, poetic portraits, documentary fragments and formal experiments that would not survive at feature length. Many are the first steps of directors who later moved on to longer work, while others are complete in themselves, the result of a single idea carried through to the end. Because they ask for so little time, short movies are an easy way to discover a new voice, a country you have never seen on screen or a style you did not know you liked. You will find work from every era and every part of the world. If you want to see where these filmmakers go next, explore our foreign films, documentaries and experimental collections.
