Curator’s note

The best British short films, free to watch.

British short film has a voice all its own: dry, character-first, unafraid of the awkward and the everyday. It is Klipist's largest national shelf, and one of its strongest. The films below are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch.

Skin casts Tom Sturridge (The Sandman) as a man undone by grief, and Requiem stars Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us, Game of Thrones) fighting for a forbidden love. The Night We Called It A Day reunites two ex-lovers for one last gig, while Little Games lets a small girl calmly reveal a sinister plan to a stranger.

The best British short films find the whole world in a small room. Annie Waits turns one woman's long wait for the right person into something tender and funny, and Within These Walls watches two musicians circle their feelings for each other. Every film here was chosen by our editors and streams free in all 193 countries, with no subscription. Press play and mind the gap.
