Klipist is where short films find their audience. Hand-curated, independently run, watched in all 193 countries of the world. If you’ve made something great, we want to see it.
Emotional short films do not ask for much time to wreck you. A few minutes, one good performance, and the right silence in the right place, and you are gone. These are the shorts that make you feel everything, the ones you finish sitting very still before you can move on.
Two Strangers Who Meet Five Times follows two men across five encounters and earns every one, and The Unexpected Expectant Father watches a grandfather struggle with the abandoned grandson left in his care. Tsunami makes a young girl the witness to an unfolding school shooting, and The Nightingale follows a singer fighting through PTSD after a sexual assault.
For more that stays with you, The Night is Black and the Day is White is a tender documentary about a family raising an autistic child, and The Night We Called It A Day reunites two ex-lovers for one last gig and all the old wounds. Free to watch and chosen by people who felt them first. Have a tissue nearby.
