Short & Sweet brings people and short film together, inspiring and empowering audiences while celebrating the medium.
Short & Sweet began as London’s only weekly short film festival, running every Monday night since May 8th, 2006. Short & Sweet Weekly has recently expanded to Toronto, with plans to launch in Australia and South Africa in the near future. Each and every week, we show a selection of the finest short films, music videos and short animations from around the globe: old films, new films, from established directors to breaking talent. The intent is to inspire all who attend, expose the best talent and ultimately celebrate film. We are dedicated to the exhibition of short film as an art form in its own right. With over 200 people attending each week, this is a great place to network.
Films are selected to take audiences on a journey: creatively, personally and emotionally. We hope to leave audiences both inspired and awestruck. Taboos are tested, perceptions rattled, and senses explored. Over the years we have been proud to witness the positive influence that Short & Sweet has had on so many people. Individuals have been inspired to explore their own creativity.
