From 10 Jan 2025, we're kicking off an online screening of The BAFTA 2024 shorts programme, our touring film programme in collaboration with the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). The programme includes a selection of live action and animation short film nominees, and the winners in each category, from the 2024 BAFTA awards. They represent storytelling that reveals the breadth and diversity of UK society, together with world class artistic and technical flair, and feature some of the UK’s finest acting talents.
This year's programme includes titles such as Crab Day directed by Ross Stringer, winner of the BAFTA for Best Short Animation in 2024, which tells a story of a young boy in the fishing community and the father-son relationship in the manhood growing up. It also includes Jellyfish and Lobster directed by Yasmin Afifi, which tells the story of two elderly care home residents who serendipitously form an unlikely relationship when they make an enchanted discovery. Jellyfish and Lobster received the BAFTA for Best Short Live Action this year.
