Across two decades of Flatpack Festival, we’ve shown a hell of a lot of short films. So what better way to celebrate this milestone than picking some of our favourites to share once more?

Since the first festival in 2006, and before then as 7 Inch Cinema, short films have always been part of Flatpack’s DNA. Whether it’s worldwide festival darlings and award winners, or YouTube videos with views in the single digits, the programme has always been as eclectic as it has been fantastic.

We’re assembling a team of those who have held the title of Shorts Programmer at Flatpack over the years (all four of them) to pick their all time favourites. You can be sure this will be something special.
