What is a "short film"?
A short film is a brief motion picture that typically lasts under 40 minutes. It can be a complete story or an excerpt from a longer work, often showcasing a concise and focused narrative or concept. Short films are commonly used to experiment with new ideas, styles, or techniques and are frequently featured in film festivals, online platforms, or as supplementary content to feature films. They allow filmmakers to explore creative concepts and showcase their work on a smaller scale before moving on to longer projects.
