Shorts
04 April 08
The Academy’s Short Film and Short Animation Awards recognise innovative and experimental short films and animation.
The Academy recognises that it is essential to reward and nurture the immense diversity and talent demonstrated by filmmakers producing short film and animation. Shorts offer both new and established talent alike the chance to create experimental and innovative films and, by rewarding excellence within these fields, BAFTA aims to raise the profile of these talented individuals and of shorts in general.
The winners of the Short Film Award and the Short Animation Award were announced on Sunday 10 February at the Orange British Academy Film Awards. Paddy Considine's film Dog Altogether starring Peter Mullen scooped the Short Film Award and Luis Cook's The Pearce Sisters took home the BAFTA for Short Animation.
