Today the London Film Festival is showcasing a selection of superb short films from around the world that I want to highlight here for you.

Every year, millions of short films are made around the world but a very small selection of them ever get the recognition they deserve, because there is no financial model ready to support them. Thanks to VOD and the rise of digital sales, the film industry needs to take a closer look at short films as they represent the future big format.

Check out these trailers below.
