Pride doesn’t end when June does — and at CIFF, it never really goes out of season. To keep the celebration going, our Shorts Programming Team has pulled together a collection of standout LGBTQ+ short films from CIFF 41–49, now freely available online for you to watch all summer (and beyond).
These nine films are former DReamMaker and 10% Cinema favorites, including several prior award winners — and the best part? You’re in charge. Pick your favorites, set your own order, and build your own personal shorts club lineup.
(One quick note: for “The Whole World” by Julian Quintanilla, be sure to turn on captions/subtitles, as they may not be on by default.)
