Curator’s note

Short films about parenthood.

Parenthood is love and panic in the same breath, and short films hold both without flinching. One milk run, one hospital day, one thing a parent cannot fix. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about raising someone, and being changed by them.

Bad Mother is an unnerving short about motherhood, and Get Milk watches a dad's quick milk run hide darker secrets from his suspicious daughters. Egg and Chips follows a young daughter stealing a chicken to help provide for the family, while Crack Shot catches a former squash champ in a toxic father-son relationship.

The best short films about parenthood understand it never really ends. All Through The Night follows a son determined to stir his dad's memory while facing his own, and Forgive Me watches a promising fighter's ambition become the cause of his heartbreak. Hand-picked by our editors and free in 190 countries, no account and no fee. Press play, and hold on tight.
