DEPICT '06 WINNER - ANIMATION AWARD

Subscribe for a new short film every Friday! Laugh, cry and be terrified by short films and animations under 90 seconds long. Made by the best emerging filmmakers and animators from around the world, each film we feature in our Short Film Fridays playlists have beaten hundreds of others to get this far. They have all made it onto one of our annual shortlists for DepicT!, Watershed's microfilm competition for the internationally renowned Encounters Short Film and Animation Festival (which takes place in Bristol, UK each September). 

Tune in every Friday for fresh film inspiration and let us know about your own projects.
