    The Winners | SOTW Awards 2012!

    As you might have noticed, this year we dispense with what has our been our traditional year-in-review Top Ten list (examples here) in order to highlight even more quality deserving content than that stale format allows. The SotW Awards are the result, and last week, after surveying an incredible year's worth of short film picks, we presented our favorite Animation, Live-Action and New Media pieces of 2011.

    Fluxus 2010 Online Film Fest

    Just stumbled upon something really cool by complete accident! Maybe I should be ashamed to call myself an "short film expert" and not have heard of this since it's in its 10th year, but Fluxus is an online film festival based out of Brazil that combines museum exhibition of short films and installations with a sophisticated online exhibition experience. What that means for us who don't live in São Paulo is that 40 current, high quality festival-circuit films are online right this moment to watch! Still from Bastien Dubois' Madagascar.

    Sundance 2011 Short Films Online: Program 3

    If I could have somehow avoided the news about Sundance starting today, I would have—today is the start of the 34th straight Sundance Festival that yours truly will be failing to attend. 34 times have films been watched, pitches been made, deals been sealed, without me.
