about

us

Short Stuff is a magazine about short film.

We aim to lavish short film with the love, dedication and analysis it deserves, giving shorts the same type and depth of coverage as features.

This means cultural deep dives, reviews, think pieces, stories of how shorts have changed our perspective on the world, the intersection between short film and society, community, tech, sport, beauty, gender and everything in between.

We believe that short film is undervalued and underfunded, and that short form content is overlooked in the media. The gap in coverage means we’re missing out on hearing about exciting filmmakers, interesting perspectives and groundbreaking stories that are often made and presented by, for and about racialised and marginalised people.

At Short Stuff, our take on what constitutes short film is expansive and generous. We cover all genres, formats and iterations of short film with a critical eye, grounded in our deep love for the form.
