Vengeful sculptors, baby squirrels and backflipping avatars - the S/W team pick their favorite short films from our 2023 coverage.
It's been an eventful and film-packed year for Short of the Week. Let's take a moment to look back at the biggest and most important events in the world of short films from this past year.
Word came out yesterday of Sundance's plans for the online exhibition of its short films this year. The American film festival giant first debuted short films on the internet in 2006, but we have yet to have two years of the same approach since.
With our annual Short Awards planned for Early 2022, to round off our yearly coverage we take a look at the S/W team's favourite films from 2021.
Tribeca's (Online) Film Festival this year is quite extensive: 6 feature films, 9 in-competition shorts and these9 "retro" shorts from the festival's past, all available for free! We'll cover this year's competition shorts in a series of forthcoming posts, but remember that Tribeca has their own spin on this online thing, so make sure to reserve a 24-hour screening window for each film in advance. These 9 retro shorts are a bit easier to manage, rather than signing up for specific 24-hour screening periods, they are available to view at any time between now and May 1st.
From 45 to 15, the short films in the running to collect an Oscar at the 94th Academy Awards have been announced.
As the borders between digital and real life blur, film festivals seek to leverage the latter to gain prominence in the former. TIFF’s mini festival with Instagram is an insightful look at influential platforms seeking to leverage each others strengths and envision the future of content

I just wrote up an, unfortunately, negative review of Luke Doolan's Oscar-nominated Miracle Fish, which gave me a chance to remark on the fantastic Blue-Tongue Film collective. NyTimes have gotten in on the act, writing a nice informative piece on Australia's favorite group of indie filmmmakers.
(Streaming Link Removed: Available on Hulu) Jack has the perfect birthday surprise planned for Emelie. Sometimes, though, plans go horrifically wrong. The new short film from Blue Tongue Films & Nash Edgerton.
