Always-On Short Films: The Short Film Show 24/7 Channel

Sometimes you don’t want to scroll and choose — you just want to watch. That’s exactly what our channel is for.

A 24/7 stream of short films

The Short Film Show runs a free, always-on linear channel: a non-stop run of independent short films from around the world, playing around the clock. There’s nothing to pick and nothing to queue — press play and let it run, the way you would a TV channel.

How to tune in

The channel is live at channel.theshortfilmshow.com. Open it in any modern browser, on your phone, tablet or computer, and you’re watching — tune in anytime, day or night.

Prefer to choose your own?

The channel sits alongside everything else on the platform. When you’d rather pick a specific film, browse the full on-demand library on the web or in the app — see our viewers guide for all the ways to watch.

Every play counts

However you watch — on the channel, on demand, free or premium — your attention helps support the filmmakers behind the work through the Filmmaker Impact Fund. So lean back, let the channel run, and enjoy the discovery.
