Curator’s note

Comedy is tragedy that kept the receipts.

Dark comedy is the hardest register in short film. Go one degree too far and it’s cruelty; one degree too soft and it’s a sitcom. The films in this hour stay exactly on the line.

They were chosen for their nerve, for treating awkwardness, failure and the occasional cursed object as things worth looking at directly. You will laugh. You may feel slightly guilty about it. That’s the genre working as intended.

How long is the whole collection?

Almost exactly one hour in total. Hence the name.

Are these films free to watch?

Yes. Klipist is free to watch, with no signup required for most films.
