The best short films about friendship.

Friendship rarely gets the big-screen spotlight, which is exactly why short films do it so well: no romance to upstage it, just the quiet, durable stuff between people. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch.

Fin sits with a grieving boy learning to live without his best friend, and Squeeze puts a wrestling coach and an autistic student in the same hopeful corner. Deserteurs forces two enemies to stay human with each other in inhuman times, while The Lost Weekend drags a newly single Charlie back out into the world with a little help.

The best short films about friendship understand that showing up is the whole thing. Just Another Day watches a man carry a grief he cannot outrun, and Only The Lonely sits with an older woman finding company again after loss. Every film here was chosen by our editors and streams free in all 193 countries, with no subscription. Press play and call someone after.
