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.
A meaningful short film lands somewhere deeper than entertainment and refuses to leave. The feeling is one of recognition, of seeing a life held up to the light. Two Sides braids together a homeless man and a property developer until neither can look away, and Only The Lonely follows an old woman for whom life turns unbearable after her husband is gone.
These films find weight in the people we tend to pass by. The Last Reel honours cinema projectionists facing their own quiet ending, The Unexpected Expectant Father follows a grandfather wrestling with the grandson he abandoned, and Sprache ist Leben walks beside a deaf boy who flees Syria for an uncertain Swiss future. Curated to mean something, and free to watch in full.
