2021 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour - official trailer


With their tight running times and limited scopes, short films transcend traditional storytelling. They are also a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. This year's travelling show introduces seven shorts culled from the six dozen that played last January in Park City. Representing domestic and international films of fiction, documentary and animated stripes, these gems offer new audiences a taste of the best of Sundance.
