We love short films! We think shorts are perfect for science fiction, as it gives filmmakers the chance to play with big ideas and high concepts without having to add drama for the sake of filling ninety minutes or more.
We hope you make it to one of our shorts programmes.

You can also see these films online from 22 June

BEST SHORT FILM 2025 – SHEPHERD MOON
Shepherd Moon is a fine example of what short-form science fiction can achieve — intelligent, atmospheric, and rich with possibility.

Set in a world we glimpse only briefly, it hints at a much larger narrative without ever feeling incomplete.

Whether taken as an allegory for toxic relationships or the quiet alienation of not belonging, it strikes an emotional chord. The performances are subtle and sincere, the production design quietly impressive, and the direction assured.
A smart, striking piece of work—and a worthy winner.
