The Winners of the Short Subject Categories at the 92nd Academy Awards

A regular on our site, Charlotte Hornsby joins us to discuss her work as a cinematographer and the importance of short film in her career.

In honor of Black History Month in the US, we invited previously-featured filmmakers to select shorts by Black Artists that they are inspired by.

Yesterday marked the online debut of the 2011 Sundance Competition short films, and in that first batch of 4 films we were treated to the World Premiere of New York-based filmmaker Nick Paley's Andy and Zach—my favorite short in the program. Nick Paley happens to be a fan of Short of the Week, so we traded emails regarding the film, Sundance, and his thoughts on short films online.

With voting complete, the Academy Awards move to the next stage: the highly anticipated nomination announcements.

Congratulations to the three winners of the 2025 Short film Oscars.

We honor the best new media short films from a variety of emerging genres and formats like Branded, Crowdfunded, Fan Films, Festival Films, and Interactive Films.

From the rise of the celebrity exec producer to the dwindling dominance of Animation's big studios, these are the Oscar short films trends you need to know about.
