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.
The hardest stories are the ones that stay with you, and short films can hold trauma without ever turning it into spectacle. They make room for the aftermath, the part that doesn't resolve when the credits roll. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Made with care, not for shock.
The Nightingale follows a singer battling through PTSD after a sexual assault, and Struck watches a female jogger return to the scene of a crime looking for closure. Wendy & Vee sits with a daughter deciding to do something about her mother's abusive boyfriend, while Portrait traps a model with an abusive predatory photographer.
The most honest short films about trauma and abuse offer recognition rather than easy answers. Floater follows a troubled man building a mausoleum after his abusive father dies, and Damage Control watches the fallout when a beloved comedian is accused of sexual assault. Chosen by our editors and free to stream in all 193 countries, no account needed. Press play, and know you are not alone.
