TheWrap is proud to present the 12 finalist films in the 2023 ShortList Film Festival, chosen from award-winning shorts from across the world in the past year. This year’s films tell personal stories that captivate and inspire — including a film about two Chinese grandmothers, a film about scuba diving in the ruins of a tsunami and one film about the LAPD blowing up a neighborhood.
The films – which include narrative, documentaries and animation – are available to watch and vote on from June 28 through July 12, exclusively on TheWrap.
The award-winning short film that is chosen by TheWrap’s Industry Jury will be honored with the prestigious Industry Prize.
