Epic short films with scale bigger than their runtime

Epic is a feeling of bigness, of stakes and sweep that should not fit inside a short and somehow do. These are the films that make a few minutes feel like a saga, where the scope of what is happening towers over the screen. Two stories, both far larger than they have any right to be.

Hawker tells the true story of WW1 fighter pilots at the dawn of aviation combat, and the danger feels vast even in the cockpit's tight frame. Games of Survival documents the annual survival games in Alaska, a real test of endurance against a landscape that dwarfs everyone in it. Both stream free here, hand-picked for the size of what they take on. Settle in for something grand.
