Science fiction lives or dies on its ideas, and a short film has nowhere to hide a weak one. No franchise to lean on, no budget for a third act of explosions, just one idea taken seriously and followed to its end. These sci-fi shorts are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Big concepts, no filler.
Skin casts Tom Sturridge (The Sandman) as a man grappling with grief in a way only science fiction could stage. Wired watches a woman get gaslit by her own AI wellbeing hub, Bliss hands its characters a mysterious video carrying a life-altering message, and Darkside sends an astronaut after a crew that has gone silent on an interstellar mission.
The best sci-fi short films use the future to talk about now, and the past to talk about the future. Decksdark drops you into a surveillance state where a lone rebel bonds with the implant in his own head, Interstice sends a teen genius back in time to solve the mystery of his absent father, and Botching keeps it simple: a heist film, with robots. Every film here was chosen by our editors and streams free in all 193 countries, with no subscription. Pick a future and press play.
