The BAFTA Award for Best British Short Film is a special prize given each year to the best short film made in Britain. It's awarded by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), a famous organization in the United Kingdom that celebrates great work in film, TV, and games.
Since 1960, talented filmmakers have received this award for their short movies. Short films are usually much shorter than regular movies, often lasting only a few minutes. They can tell amazing stories or show interesting ideas in a short amount of time.
On this page, you'll find a list of the films that have won this important BAFTA award. The winning films and their creators are shown in bold with a gold background. The years listed are when the films were released, not when the award ceremony took place (which is usually the next year).
