As 2020 draws to a close, the team here at S/W have already voted for their favourite short films of the year, “but what about December’s ‘Best of the Month’ picks?” I hear you scream (right?). Never fear, along with constantly hassling the team to select their top films from the last 12-months, I also spent the last week or so nagging them into providing their top films from the 12-month.

Team Favourites

December was a case of last, but certainly not least on Short of the Week, as we served up another 21 short films, an interview with actor/director Jack Cooper Stimpson (Alex’s Dream) and a filmmaker update chocked full of news. For our favourite films of the month though, the team has selected a trio of Docs which include; an inspirational skate film, a warped retelling of the story of one of the first female weed smugglers in the USA and an honest & unadorned portrait of a family who doesn’t know how to talk to each other.

Most Watched

There were a couple of films battling it out for ‘Most Watched’ in December and though it was a close run thing (a handful of views separated the films in the end), the winner was Brett Cramer’s five-minute dramedy It’s Been a While. Beginning as a broad comedy before morphing into a melancholic drama about needing human connection, it felt like perfect 2020 viewing and we can see why so many of you were drawn to it.
