Survival sharpens everything down to a single question: what would you do to make it through? Short films thrive on that pressure, no slack, no second act, just a person and the thing that wants them gone. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about staying alive.
Darkside follows an astronaut searching for a lost crew on an interstellar mission, and Debt Valley sets a desert rendezvous that can't be good news. A Certain Method watches a struggling actress kill at the audition of her life, while Appetite trails a predatory dater who always runs off when the bill comes.
The best short films about survival keep the stakes inches away. Chasing The Vein is a doc exploring a woman's addiction to heroin from the age of 15, and Botching is a heist film, with Robots. Our editors selected each one, free in all 193 countries with nothing to sign up for. Press play, and hold on.
