Short films about technology and modern life.

Technology promised to bring us closer; modern life mostly proves how strange that got. The best short films about it sit in the glow of the screen and ask what we traded away. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories about the wired, distracted world we actually live in.

#tagged captures the sweet intimacy and destructive power of social media, and Byte watches a sad, shallow man receive a strange gift. Decksdark bonds a solitary rebel with his neural implant in a dystopian surveillance state, while Artificial Dreams follows a filmmaker's dilemma of being commercially successful.

The best short films about technology and modern life ask what the convenience is really costing. Botching is a heist film, with Robots, and 2099 interviews five of the oldest citizens about the 21st Century. Hand-picked by our editors, free in all 193 countries, no fee and no subscription.
