Beginning life back in 1995, when it was originally envisioned as a one-off short film event, the Encounters Short film and Animation Festival has developed into one of the world's leading lights in showcasing short films and their talented creators.

A cherished tradition, every year Sundance releases a selection of short films from their competition lineup onto the internet for the duration of the fest.

No preamble, if you want to learn more about this fantastic online competition, check out the first half of our coverage from yesterday. Again, due to embedding restrictions, please visit the festival website to view the films.
