About
this site
Before the
Internet came to everyone's home, the best way to
see short films was
at a film festival or art house.
This is still a good way to see short films, but if you want to
see these movies and don't live in or near a festival city we've
created Shorts on the Tube as the Internet's search engine for
short
films.
You can find films two ways:
1. Use the directory
2. Use the site's search engine
If you enjoy watching the short films, please spread the word.
New
films are added weekly but if you have suggestions, please
let us know.

subject", a technical description originally coined by the Indian
Film
Industry.
• We know that in North America a short film generally refers
to films
between 20 and 40 minutes. However, a short film can
be a short as one
minute.

to avoid.

theaters was
preceded by one or more short films.
