The Shorties Shortlist 2025
THE SHORTIES – Celebrating homegrown filmmaking since 2011
Short films are a central pillar of modern surf culture, a creative outlet for sharing stories and inspiring stoke. At LS/FF we wanted to celebrate the short and give homegrown filmmaking talents a platform to bring their visions to the surf world so in 2011, we established THE SHORTIES which has fast become one of the most prestigious short film competitions for surf filmmakers in the world.
While the main festival is a showcase for international filmmaking, The Shorties short film contest is open exclusively to filmmakers from, or based in, Britain and Ireland – from both leading lights and up and coming filmmakers. The Shorties 2025 is supported by our friends at Brittany Ferries who provide a gateway to exploring the beauty and potential of the coastline and culture of Europe. The Shortie of the Year will win a £600 voucher from Brittany Ferries.
