Welcome to the British Council UK SHORTS PORTAL

Whether you are looking for exciting graduate shorts from our film schools, breakthrough talent developed through our national and regional agencies, pioneering animations or inspiring documentaries, you can find the best new work the UK has to offer right here.

Please note: this service is for the use of industry professionals working as curators, festival programmers and short film buyers only at this time and unfortunately we cannot allow access for individual filmmakers or production companies due to the agreement we have with participating content providers on the site.
