Popular Short Films Of The Decade - Flixtor

However, when it comes to short films, the 2010s was presumably the most noteworthy decade in the history of the genre. In this decade we see a lot of short films that were record-breaking. The quality of those movies was nothing short of astonishing. It would not be inaccurate to say that this has got a lot to do with the technological leap we have taken in the last decade. As we moved into 2010, the digital revolution was sorting out. Even the young filmmakers had access to the best techniques needed to execute their ideas.

Platforms like Flixtor and Vimeo also take part in an instrumental role in stimulating filmmakers to take this route. The development in the quality of the story and production has also made film festivals take more interest in the short film genre. Now it has become a major part of those events. A short movie can vary from one minute long or up to forty minutes. Usually, those who tell short stories do so to amuse their viewers. They want to share a story with morals. We can learn a lot of life lessons from short films. I'll discuss a couple of the recent award-winning short films that I mentioned.
