Curator’s note

Short films about faith and spirituality.

Faith is one of the hardest things to film, because it lives mostly in private. The best short films do not preach it; they follow people facing the questions that belief is supposed to answer, and let the doubt stay in the frame. The films below are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about what we believe in.

A Moral Man turns a controversial spotlight on assisted suicide and the weight of a final choice, and Bliss follows a mysterious video that arrives carrying a life-altering message. El Batán, Small and Pretty is an inspiring doc about a former small town fighting to preserve its soul, while Games of Survival documents the annual survival games in Alaska.

The best short films about faith and spirituality leave room for mystery. Gym Patriot watches a white man's unease escalate when he hears Arabic singing, and Artificial Dreams sits with a filmmaker wrestling over the cost of his calling. Hand-picked by our editors, free across 190 countries, no subscription and no sign-up. Press play and sit with the bigger questions.
