Curator’s note

The best short films about love and romance, free to watch.

Love is all timing, and short films run on timing, so they catch romance at its truest. One meeting, one mistake, one chance you either take or don't. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about wanting someone, badly.

Annie Waits tells a woman's story of lust, disappointment and waiting for 'The One', and A Smaller Big Bang watches a relationship end the way it began, with a bang. A Street Cat Named Desire follows a tourist ensnared by a world of sex, drugs and cats, while Byte hands a sad, shallow man a strange gift.

The best short films about love and romance know it rarely arrives on cue. Bliss sends a mysterious video carrying a life altering message, and A Best Man watches everything go smoothly for the Best Man, until it doesn't. Picked by our editors and free in all 193 countries, no fee and no sign-up. Press play, and fall a little.
