Short films about war and conflict.

War leaves no room for the small print, and short films find their power in the human moment the history books skip. One soldier, one choice, one second that decides everything. These films are hand-picked, complete, and free to watch. Stories from the edge of the fight.

Deserteurs forces two enemies to remain human in inhumane times, and Hawker tells the true story of WW1 fighter pilots at the dawn of aviation combat. Hymn of Hate sets Russell Tovey (Being Human) and Thomas Turgoose (This Is England) in a WW1 short.

The best short films about war and conflict keep the cost personal. Sprache ist Leben follows a deaf boy fleeing Syria for Switzerland and the challenges ahead, and Bad Apples watches a group of political radicals fight police brutality in near-future NYC. Curated by our editors and free in all 193 countries with no sign-up. Press play, and look closer.
