With a mission to champion “new voices and fresh perspectives”, Sundance Film Festival serves as a vital platform for independent filmmaking. Over the years, it has launched the careers of countless emerging filmmakers and played a pivotal role in shaping the future of cinema. As the first major film event of the year, this Utah-based festival often sets the tone for what to watch out for in the cinematic landscape over the next 11 months, making it an undeniable highlight of the film festival circuit. That’s why, at Directors Notes, we’re always excited to explore what Sundance has in store – particularly in the short film category. This year’s selection features 57 titles chosen from over 10,000 submissions, offering a truly eclectic lineup. And even though we’re only a few weeks into 2025, I’m confident I’ve already seen some of my favourite shorts of the year.
