Best MIFF Shorts
A program of MIFF 2026’s award-winning short films, as chosen by the MIFF Shorts Awards jury.
A pair of estranged besties take a rural road trip; a teen girl struggles with trust due to her girlfriend’s disregard for boundaries; two sisters seize the courage to live anew after their overbearing father’s death; and members of a central Australian choir celebrate community and creativity through vibrant animation. Also: a unique take on the coming-of-age drama, a powerful portrait of a Palestinian childhood under occupation and a poetic evocation of the senses through the grain of film.
Films in this package: Last Chance to Evacuate Earth (dir. Jak Scanlon, Andrew Dang), Body, remember… (dir. Matthew Berka), Souvenir (dir. Renée Marie Petropoulos), Intersecting Memory (dir. Shayma’ Awawdeh), Daughters of the Late Colonel (dir. Elizabeth Hobbs), Our Choir Has Always Been Travelling (dir. Judith Pungarta Inkamala, Marjorie "Nunga" Williams, Nelson Armstrong) and Lion Rock (dir. Prisca Bouchet, Nick Mayow).
