Shorts

04 April 08

The Academy’s Short Film and Short Animation Awards recognise innovative and experimental short films and animation.

The Academy recognises that it is essential to reward and nurture the immense diversity and talent demonstrated by filmmakers producing short film and animation. Shorts offer both new and established talent alike the chance to create experimental and innovative films and, by rewarding excellence within these fields, BAFTA aims to raise the profile of these talented individuals and of shorts in general.

The deadline for the Short Film and Short Animation Awards in 2009 has now passed.

To keep up-to-date with all shorts-related Academy activity, including the announcement of the nominees and winners for the Short Film and Short Animation Awards in 2009, UK-wide shorts events and next year's call for entries, enter your details into the form below.
