Now in its sixth year, the ShortList continues its incredible momentum. The 2015 ShortList winner, “Bear Story,” went on to win the Academy Award for Animated Short Film, and while last year’s “Maman(s),” directed by Maïmouna Doucouré, won the Cesar Award for Best Short Film.
The ShortList Film Festival elevates the best in short filmmaking. TheWrap is pleased to celebrate the short film format as it has exploded across every device in the age of streaming.
The contest selects 12 of the best award-winning short films that have premiered at a major festival in the past year, making this the most highly competitive film festival of its kind.
