Klipist is where short films find their audience. Hand-curated, independently run, watched in all 193 countries of the world. If you’ve made something great, we want to see it.
Sometimes you want a film to wreck you a little. A short can do it cleaner than a feature, no slow build, just straight to the ache and out again before you can defend yourself. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Bring tissues.
Skin casts Tom Sturridge (The Sandman) as a man undone by grief, and Requiem stars Bella Ramsey (The Last of Us, Game of Thrones) fighting for a love that cannot last. Fin sits with a grieving boy learning to move on without his best friend, while The Nightingale follows a singer fighting her way back through trauma.
The saddest short films do not manipulate; they tell the truth and let it land. The World Beyond Me finds a woman dreaming of freedom inside Mumbai's red-light district, and Lovers performs the most famous goodbye in Romeo and Juliet across seven languages. Every film here was chosen by our editors and streams free in all 193 countries, with no subscription. Press play, and let yourself feel it.
