The best short films about identity and belonging.

Figuring out who you are, and where you fit, is the quiet work of a whole life. Short films catch it in a single decisive beat, the moment a person stops performing and starts being. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about finding your place.

Babyface is a fun doc about a childhood dream of becoming a pro wrestler, and A Certain Method follows a struggling actress who kills at the audition of her life. #tagged traces the sweet intimacy and destructive power of social media, while Annie Waits follows a woman's story of lust, disappointment and waiting for 'The One'.

The best short films about identity and belonging trust people to be more than one thing.

Hand-picked by our editors, free in all 193 countries, no sign-up and no fee. Press play and find your people.
