The BAFTA 2020 Shorts programme includes a selection of the live action and animation short film nominees selected in 2020. The programme represents storytelling that reveals the breadth and diversity of British society, together with world class technical flair, and features some of our finest acting talents. This programme is the perfect package to develop international audiences and showcase the UK’s on-going tradition of producing world class short film.
