Author: Short films are great but do you know where to look to find the best ones? If you’ve got http://www.direct.tv/ channels you may stumble upon great shorts from time to time but here are a few unlikely sources to check, too.
Academy Awards: Visit the Oscars website to take a look at all the nominated shorts from the past. There’s actually a category for it and you’ll find the best of the genre listed out and sometimes even linked to – easy as pie!
SNL: You’ve heard of digital shorts, right? They may not be actual digital films but they’re interesting nonetheless. There’s a lot to think about when you’re watching these free-form version of the genre which can give you ideas for making your own short films, too.
Library of Congress: An unlikely source, the Library of Congress actually keeps on file a collection of notable films including a lot of shorts. You can check out some but many you have to watch on-site so make a day of it and browse the archives at one of the country’s best Libraries.
