The 2019 Sundance Film Festival Short Film Tour is a 96-minute theatrical program of 7 short films
selected from this year’s Festival, widely considered the premier showcase for short films and the
launchpad for many now-prominent independent filmmakers for more than 30 years. Including fiction, documentary, and animation from around the world, the 2019 program offers new audiences a taste of what the Festival offers, from sharply-written comedy and drama to edgy genre and an intimate family saga.
Fueled by artistic expression and limited only by their runtime, short films transcend traditional storytelling. They are a significant and popular way artists can connect with audiences. From documentary to animation, narrative to experimental, the abbreviated form is made for risk-taking. The Festival has always treated short films with the highest regard and gives a home to both established and new filmmakers with shorts for audiences to discover and celebrate. 2017–2019, U.S., Canada, Estonia, Hong Kong, Tunisia, Qatar, and Sweden, 96 minutes. Recommended for 16+.
